Patient's question:
My boyfriend went to participate in an event a few days ago and accidentally injured his testicle. However, he carefully checked on the spot and didn't notice any abnormal conditions. It was just a series of pains that gradually subsided. But in recent days, there has been redness and swelling. So, I want to ask what should be done if the testicle becomes swollen a few days after being severely hit?Doctor's answer:
If this situation occurs again, it may be possible that orchitis or testicular rupture has reoccurred. In such cases, it is important to promptly seek medical attention for relevant examinations and treatment. If orchitis reoccurs, oral anti-inflammatory medication should be administered for treatment. If testicular rupture reoccurs, immediate hospitalization should be decided to prevent any impact on fertility. Avoid drinking beer and consuming spicy foods such as chili peppers.
