Patient's question:
I only realized today that it hurts a bit. There's a slightly hard spot on the front of one testicle.Doctor's answer:
Your condition may be testitis, which is usually caused by bacteria and viruses. Bacterial infections in the testicles are rare due to the rich blood and lymphatic supply, which provides strong resistance to bacterial infections. Most cases of bacterial testitis are caused by inflammation of the nearby epididymis. It is recommended to treat it with intravenous antibiotics.
