Patient's question:
Hello, I have pain in my left testicle and it's a bit swollen. What could be the reason? Why does one testicle hurt while the other is fine? Aren't they both in the same place? Additionally, what conditions are associated with testicular pain? What kind of diseases could it be?Doctor's answer:
According to the symptoms you described, if testicular swelling and pain reappear and then subside under normal circumstances, it is mainly caused by diseases in the testicles or epididymis within the scrotum. However, this condition is generally seen in many inflammatory cases, such as testitis caused by E. coli entering the urethra in reverse. In such cases, treatment is primarily based on antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medications, such as Levaquin capsules, erythromycin tablets, or Noroxin capsules, among others. During the course of medication, it is essential to pay attention to local hygiene, take appropriate rest, and avoid overexertion to prevent the symptoms and pain from worsening.
