Patient's question:
I began experiencing occasional testicular pain since my first nocturnal emission in middle school. Previously, the pain occurred only once every few months or even a year. Recently, I've noticed the pain has become more frequent and milder, occurring every three to five days.Hello doctor, sometimes my testicles ache slightly, and the skin also hurts while I'm taking a nap. What could be the reason?
Doctor's answer:
Testicles have a dull ache, and the pain reappears when taking a nap. The main considerations are orchitis or epididymitis as the underlying cause, with a very small possibility of prostatitis caused by excessive sexual activity in youth. It is best to see a doctor for examination. In the meantime, you can take anti-inflammatory and analgesic medications, but specific medication should be followed by a doctor's advice. You can also use a warm towel for appropriate cold compressions. Proper rest is necessary.
