What is the cause of one side of the testicle swelling?

The testicle is the male reproductive organ, which has spermatogenic and endocrine functions. Common testicular diseases include orchitis, varicocele, scrotal cyst, testicular rupture, testicular torsion, testicular cancer, etc. If the testicle is damaged, it is easy to cause male fertility loss and possible loss of sexual ability. Enlargement of one side of the testicle is generally caused by testicular torsion, orchitis, etc. Only by clearly understanding the situation can it be treated correctly. The following are its causes and related knowledge:

One-sided testicular swelling can generally be divided into two types. One is caused by external factors that cause testicular injury, such as improper exercise causing testicular torsion, or violence and other reasons that injure the testicles, resulting in symptoms such as swelling and pain; the other is pathological swelling. Urogenital system diseases can also cause testicular swelling, especially orchitis and epididymitis.

For the first case of testicular swelling, the patient needs to go to the hospital for a specific examination to determine the treatment plan. In the second case, after the diagnosis, since Western medicine treatment is generally difficult to achieve the goal of complete cure, Chinese medicine treatment can be used, such as oral Chinese medicine diuretic and anti-inflammatory pills. In fact, testicular swelling is mostly caused by orchitis or epididymitis in clinical practice.

In addition to testicular enlargement, orchitis and epididymitis are often accompanied by radiating pain in the groin area, scrotal swelling and heaviness, etc. Since these organs are directly related to male fertility, if not treated in time, it is likely to lead to infertility.

In terms of treatment, Western medicine mainly uses antibacterial drugs for antibacterial and anti-inflammatory purposes, but the side effects such as antibiotic resistance are also relatively large. Many patients will relapse after treatment. Although it is effective quickly, most patients are still willing to choose traditional Chinese medicine for safe treatment without side effects.

Patients should be careful not to eat hot foods and drink alcohol in their daily lives. Change and wash underwear frequently and do not wear underwear made of chemical fiber materials. When choosing clothes and pants, try to choose ones that are breathable and loose. Eat more fresh fruits and vegetables to supplement vitamins. Pay attention to your personal hygiene and do not eat spicy or irritating foods.
