Dear Ask The Doctor:Hi sir, i am 25 years old married,few days before i am feeling slight pain in my right testicle as well as right side of my lower abdomain, i am feeling a small bud like object in my right testis,plz suggest me what to do?
Dear Sambit:You are most probably suffering form Epididymitis (It is an infection of the coiled tube in the back of the testicles). The infection is common in young males and is usually due to an infection from the urethra or bladder. The symptoms of Epididymitis include low grade fever, a feeling of pain or heaviness of the testicles, discharge from penis, burning sensation while passing urine and painful ejaculation.
If you are experiencing these symptoms, you should go to your healthcare provider who would provide you with antibiotics, pain and anti-inflammatory medications. Also I would advise you to get yourself and partner tested for any STIs. If the pain gets worse you may need to visit the emergency to rule out torsion of the testis which is a more serious problem. |
