Patient's question:
Duration of onset and persistence: Soaking in the large pool at the bathhouse, I felt itchy at the urethral opening. The next day, my testicles started hurting, with occasional lower abdominal pain, but urination was painless. The perineum occasionally ached. It's been ten days, and the testicular pain persists. I just got married and haven't had children yet. Will I be infertile? How should it be treated??Current general condition: Symptoms are milder when sleeping. They are more noticeable when sitting.
Medical history: Two years ago, I had non-bacterial prostatitis.
Previous diagnoses, treatments, and outcomes: The doctor prescribed erythromycin stearate tablets and Teyning (a traditional Chinese medicine tablet produced by Wuhan Yangtze River Dragon Pharmaceutical).
Additional tests: None.
Doctor's answer:
Hello! Symptomatic treatment should be carried out based on identifying its cause. If the cause cannot be determined for the time being, symptomatic treatment such as sedation and pain relief can be administered. When necessary, Prilocaine block of the spermatic cord can be used, which can block the vicious cycle between the pain source of neuralgia and the cerebral pain center. Some people may experience pain in the testicle even with slight discomfort or no discomfort at all, which is entirely due to psychological factors. Therefore, relaxing your mind is also very important.
