Patient's question:
Pain on the left side of the scrotum near the penis at night, normal urination, and other symptoms are normal. The pain is not daily; it is mostly not felt during the day. This symptom has persisted for two months, and I have never had this before. I haven't had sexual activity in the past three months. Due to this condition, I visited Guangzhou XX Hospital (a top-tier hospital) twice. The attending doctors said there were no issues, that the external genitalia were developed normally, the testicles were of normal size, there was no redness or swelling, and the spermatic cord was not thickened. The final conclusion was suspected orchitis? They prescribed some anti-inflammatory medication (Sipofen), but it hasn't been effective.Doctor's answer:
Acute pain is commonly seen in orchitis and injury. Orchitis, in addition to 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. The disease is constantly progressing, so it is recommended to combine appropriate examinations for a clear diagnosis and targeted treatment to ensure early recovery.As everyone knows, orchitis can cause significant harm to men, so it is important to seek treatment as soon as possible. In daily life, attention should be paid to dietary issues—avoiding irritating foods and maintaining a balanced diet. Additionally, regular follow-up visits may be necessary when required.
