Patient's question:
I don't know what's going on, my testicles have been hurting for over a month. I searched online and it seems like it might be testitis. I want to go to the hospital for a thorough check-up. What department should I go to? Which hospital has the best treatment effect? What are the causes of testitis in men?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended to promptly visit a local hospital for a thorough examination and treatment, as orchitis is a common cause of testicular pain. There are many causes of orchitis, such as patients with mumps, who may develop secondary orchitis, leading to recurrent testicular pain and swelling. Gonorrhea is currently the most prevalent sexually transmitted disease and can cause orchitis in severe cases, resulting in recurrent testicular pain and swelling.Recommendation: Chronic prostatitis can also cause testicular pain, often unilateral pain, mostly dull or pulling pain, and persistent in nature. Microscopic examination of prostatic fluid reveals a large number of white blood cells. The patients are mostly young and middle-aged adults, with the elderly being less commonly affected.
