Patient's question:
My husband is 27 years old. A couple of days ago, he had some testicular swelling and pain, but he was too embarrassed to say so. He went to the hospital and received two days of intravenous drips. The results were not very good. They said it was because the blood vessels in that area were too small and it would take time to heal. So, why do testicles get swollen and painful? Thank you!Doctor's answer:
The testicles are slightly swollen and painful, which may be due to recurrent orchitis caused by prolonged sitting recently or bacterial infection. In a few cases, it could be acute epididymitis or varicocele. It is necessary to go to the hospital for further examination. Treatment can also involve oral anti-inflammatory medication. Please follow the doctor's advice regarding specific medication, and pay attention to dietary restrictions. Cold compresses can also be applied appropriately.
