Patient's question:
Since two months ago, I have been feeling a dull pain in my testicle, and it only hurts on one side. Later, after a thorough examination at the hospital and an ultrasound, some swelling was found, and it was diagnosed as a urinary tract infection. I have also been quite mindful of personal hygiene issues. Now that I feel some relief, what should I do?Doctor's answer:
Urinary tract infections can cause testicular pain, usually due to inflammation, but it may also be caused by prostatitis. Appropriate oral anti-inflammatory medications can be taken. Daily hygiene of the urethral opening should be paid attention to, and it may be decided to use physiological saline for cleaning. Underwear should be changed frequently. Avoid spicy and irritating foods in your diet and do not get cold. To prevent cross-infection, sexual intercourse is strictly prohibited during treatment.
