Patient's question:
Health consultation description: I always feel discomfort in my testicles, sometimes with pain. A while ago, I had a thorough check-up at the hospital and underwent a color Doppler ultrasound examination (testicles, spermatic cord, prostate, bladder). The doctor said everything was normal. Could it be a mild testicular torsion? Could it lead to testicular necrosis or something like that?Doctor's answer:
Testicular pain is often caused by orchitis in men, which is brought on by bacteria and viruses. Orchitis rarely occurs as a bacterial infection in the testicles themselves, as the testicles have abundant blood and lymphatic supply, making them highly resistant to bacterial infections. Most bacterial orchitis is caused by inflammation of the adjacent epididymis. It is recommended that patients with testicular pain seek timely examination and treatment at professional hospitals to avoid missing the opportunity for proper care.
