Patient's question:
I have recently been experiencing the recurring sensation of swelling and pain in the penis area, especially around the testicles. When I gently press there, it becomes very painful. Moreover, I don't know if it's due to this reason, but I often feel a burning sensation in my lower abdomen and waist, and I also feel like my body temperature is particularly high. After researching a bit, I found that it might be possible to be orchitis. I would like to go to the hospital for a thorough examination. Could you please tell me if orchitis can be detected through an ultrasound?Doctor's answer:
Testicular inflammation is generally associated with factors such as viral infections, poor personal hygiene, and local dampness. For your symptoms of penile swelling and pain, as well as mild testicular pain upon light pressure, it is important to consider testicular inflammation. Typically, testicular inflammation cannot be detected through ultrasound. It is recommended to check a complete blood count and a urinalysis to confirm whether there is an infection. Engage in regular physical exercise, maintain physical and mental health, and keep personal hygiene in check.
