Patient's question:
Currently, the general situation is: My right testicle is swollen and painful (when touched) and is larger than the other side. Is it inflammation?Medical history: Half a year ago, I had pain that was severe to the point where even walking was painful. I took acyclovir, which worked well, and the pain stopped after a few days. But now there is still mild pain.
Doctor's answer:
For mild acute orchitis, clinical treatment primarily focuses on physical measures such as bed rest, local heat application, and elevating the scrotum. Urological experts note that this treatment method is simple and effective for patients and can prevent the overuse of antibiotics. As everyone knows, testicular torsion can cause 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—opting for a light diet and avoiding foods. Additionally, regular follow-up visits may be necessary when needed.
