Patient's question:
Hello Dr. Online: I have been married for seven months. During this time, my husband developed acute epididymitis, and we underwent treatment. Recently, it has recurred again. Now, it seems that his testicles are at different levels, with the left one being harder than the right, and sometimes it is very wet. Could you please tell me if this is normal? I am very anxious. Thank you in advance.Doctor's answer:
Physical examination and endocrine tests revealed very low plasma testosterone levels, poor development of male secondary sexual characteristics, such as sparse facial hair, pubic hair, and armpit hair, low or childlike voice, and low libido and sexual function in most cases. The main diseases causing micropenis include Klinefelter syndrome and congenital adrenal hyperplasia. I believe everyone knows that orchitis causes significant harm to patients, so it is important to seek treatment as soon as possible. In daily life, attention should be paid to dietary issues, avoiding foods, and maintaining a balanced diet. Additionally, regular follow-up visits may be necessary when needed.
