What should I do if my testicles are hard due to orchitis?

Patient's question:

Hello, I have been diagnosed with orchitis, and my testicles have recently become hard. The condition started at the beginning of this year. The conclusion from the ultrasound is that there are heterogenic changes in the right testicle, and the right testicular head is heterogenic and slightly swollen. After a month, I noticed that my testicles became hard. I'm a bit scared.

Doctor's answer:

Hello: There are many causes that can lead to discomfort in the testicles, such as: prostatitis, orchitis, epididymitis, varicocele, etc. The testicles are the largest reproductive organs in men, and if they develop abnormalities, it will inevitably affect future sexual life and fertility. The treatment depends on the cause and requires specialized examinations to determine. In this case, it is recommended to avoid overexertion, maintain a regular lifestyle, abstain from smoking and alcohol, and avoid spicy foods to prevent worsening the condition.
Advice: Hello, this is due to muscle damage and blocked blood circulation. I suggest taking some blood-activating and blood-stasis-dispelling medications, or applying a warm towel to the affected area. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
