Pain in the lower left abdomen and left testicle may be caused by acute epididymo-orchitis, and some patients may also experience systemic symptoms such as fever, chills, and fatigue. After comprehensive examination and diagnosis, patients should undergo further anti-inflammatory treatment. During physical examination, obvious swelling can be palpated, with varying consistency ranging from firm to soft. Ultrasound imaging typically shows an enlarged epididymis and uneven echogenicity.
