    Testicular injury may involve testicular contusion, testicular rupture, testicular torsion, testicular dislocation, orchitis and other related diseases or symptoms.

    1. Testicular contusion

    Testicular contusion is usually caused by direct external force, and local symptoms such as swelling, pain, and congestion may occur. Mild testicular contusion can relieve symptoms through ice application, rest and other measures. During the recovery period from testicular contusion, strenuous exercise should be avoided to prevent symptoms from worsening.

    2. Testicular rupture

    Testicular rupture is mostly caused by severe trauma and manifests as severe pain, bruising of the scrotal skin, and abnormal testicular shape. Testicular rupture requires prompt medical treatment, and surgery may be required to repair the damaged tissue. Delaying treatment may result in impaired or even loss of testicular function.

    3. Testicular torsion

    Testicular torsion is a torsion of the mesangium of the testis that results in obstruction of blood flow. Sudden severe pain accompanied by nausea and vomiting are typical manifestations. Testicular torsion is a urological emergency, and seeking medical attention within 6 hours can help preserve the testicle. Delay in treatment may lead to ischemic necrosis of the testicles.

    4. Testicular dislocation

    Testicular luxation refers to the testicle leaving the scrotum and entering the groin or abdomen, which is often caused by severe external force. It manifests as scrotal emptiness accompanied by severe pain, requiring emergency manual reduction or surgical reduction. Testicular dislocation that remains untreated for a long time may affect fertility.

    5. Orchitis

    Orchitis is mostly caused by bacterial or viral infection and manifests as testicular swelling, tenderness, and fever. Orchitis can be treated with antibiotics such as levofloxacin tablets and cefixime dispersible tablets as directed by the doctor. Patients with orchitis should rest in bed and elevate the scrotum to reduce swelling.

    After testicular injury, it is recommended to stop activities immediately, use ice compresses to reduce swelling, and use soft underwear to support the scrotum. Avoid strenuous exercise, cycling and other activities to prevent secondary injuries. You should eat a light diet and consume more high-quality protein and vitamins to help tissue repair. If symptoms such as persistent pain, persistent swelling, or fever occur, you should seek medical examination promptly and receive standardized treatment after a clear diagnosis. Regularly review ultrasound to assess recovery, and pay attention to changes in testicular size and texture.
