What should I do if the left testicle is swollen

Patient's question:

Medical Description: Just a few days ago, I noticed itching on the left testicle, followed by peeling, like dead skin that can be peeled off. A part of the scrotal skin has hardened with folds, and in these days, the testicle has become enlarged and swollen! There's a slight sensation, but it could also be psychological.
Past Treatment and Effect: Haven't gone to the hospital yet.
Desired Help: Please help me identify what disease it might be, how serious it is, and how to treat it!

Doctor's answer:

Hello, it's a pleasure to help you! You have a condition involving swelling of the testicles, accompanied by symptoms like yellow urine. In fact, your symptoms are likely caused by inflammation or infection. Currently, you can choose to have routine urine and blood tests at a regular hospital, along with a scrotal ultrasound to check if the testicles are normal. You will still need to take anti-inflammatory medication. Generally, this involves using broad-spectrum antibiotics in sufficient doses, such as azithromycin. You can also receive a 1% lidocaine spermatic cord block injection to reduce pain. Wishing you a speedy recovery!
