Desired Help: Is there any institution with transurethral intervention equipment? Is transurethral intervention more effective?
Doctor's answer:
Hello, some patients may develop chronic diseases only if they do not fully recover during the acute phase, but most patients do not have a very clear acute phase. After onset, they may only experience mild discomfort in the scrotal area, sometimes a slight dragging pain, or even pain in the scrotal area. The pain sensation may directly radiate to the lower abdomen or thigh area. Especially after walking, the pain in the thigh area can be very severe, even excruciating. This pain is persistent and cannot be intermittent. When pressing with the hand, the scrotal area may feel swollen. The patient should take Chinese herbal diuretic and anti-inflammatory pills, rest on time, and avoid staying up late.
