Patient's question:
After getting a urinary tract infection, it caused an ulcer on the glans penis. Now it has healed, but now pain has appeared in the testicles. I have used some anti-inflammatory drugs, but they haven't been effective. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
In your case, it is recommended to first undergo a prostate examination. However, it is not ruled out that you may have orchitis. Symptoms of orchitis include high fever, chills, pain in the affected testicle, and radiating pain in the scrotum, groin, and inguinal region. The affected testicle becomes swollen and tender, and if it becomes purulent, there will be a fluctuating sensation of pus upon palpation. It is often accompanied by redness and swelling of the scrotal skin and hydrocele in the scrotum. Therefore, it is advised that you seek medical attention early to determine the cause of your discomfort and receive targeted treatment to prevent the disease from causing serious harm to your health.
