Patient's question:
In a car accident (in April of this year), one (right) testicle ruptured. At the time, the outpatient department of the hospital treated it (with anti-inflammatory and blood circulation promotion measures), and the doctor said it could heal. After about a week of treatment, the pain disappeared, and medication was stopped. However, by September of this year, the pain began again, and the ruptured area started to atrophy. Upon visiting the hospital, two urinalysis tests were conducted, diagnosing prostatitis and epididymitis respectively. A prostatic examination revealed both conditions to a certain extent, but medication had no effect. In another examination, the doctor diagnosed varicocele and atrophy as the cause of vessel blockage, but medication also showed no improvement. To date, medication has been discontinued for about 15 days, and the symptomsDoctor's answer:
Hello! If there was no surgery at the hospital, it might be possible that the testicle did not rupture, or it could be internal bleeding in the scrotum. Under normal circumstances, confirming testicular rupture requires timely surgery to avoid purulent infection and loss of normal physiological function. It is recommended to rest in bed, avoid getting out of bed, elevate the scrotum, and apply heat after three days if there is bruising to promote absorption of the blood. Oral anti-inflammatory medication should be taken to prevent infection.
