Patient's question:
In the past week, there has been pain in the right testicle, but it's also quite severe. However, it's still affecting work. The right side is larger than the left.Doctor's answer:
Testicular swelling and discomfort are commonly seen in orchitis and injury. Orchitis, apart from hematogenous infection, is more commonly caused by bacteria retrograding from the urethra to the epididymis and testes, leading to epididymitis and orchitis. Clinically, it presents with swelling and pain in the epididymis and testes.Advice: If there is any discomfort in the testicles, seek medical attention promptly. The primary physiological function of the testicles is to produce sperm. If treatment is delayed, it can directly affect future fertility.
