Patient's question:
Medical Description: Due to long-term intimacy with my girlfriend, I experienced severe testicular pain after an erection. Is it okay to have a prolonged erection? How should it be treated? Can it be resolved by using ice packs or taking cold showers? If it doesn't improve, what should I do?History of Treatment and Effects: No treatment has been administered. Previously, I used ice packs or hot showers, but I don't know if this is effective.
Help Needed: I hope the doctor can provide an answer. Thank you!
Doctor's answer:
Hello, there are many causes of testicular swelling and pain, such as orchitis, testicular tumors, testicular cysts, hydrocele, epididymitis, seminal vesiculitis, prostatitis, etc., all of which can cause symptoms of testicular pain. Based on your description, prolonged erection may be a possible cause of testicular discomfort, but it is generally unrelated to frequent pain. It is recommended that you actively seek medical attention for tests such as testicular ultrasound and follow medical advice for symptomatic treatment. Pay attention to local hygiene, drink more water, avoid unsafe sex, and moderate sexual activity. Wishing you good health.
