Dr. Wang Xueying
Pain in the testicle upon touch may be due to inflammation. It is recommended to go to the hospital for ultrasound and blood tests; after diagnosis, anti-inflammatory treatment can be administered. The pain could also be caused by edema. Swelling may compress testicular tissues and nerves, leading to discomfort. This situation is often associated with epididymitis or fluid accumulation in testicular cysts. Avoid self-medicating when symptoms occur; instead, seek evaluation at a specialized hospital promptly to avoid delaying treatment.
