    Testicular swelling and pain may be related to factors such as orchitis, epididymitis, varicocele, testicular torsion or trauma. Testicular swelling and pain usually manifests as pain, swelling, redness and other symptoms in the scrotum. It is recommended to seek medical examination in time and follow the doctor's instructions for treatment after the cause is determined.

    Orchitis is usually caused by bacterial or viral infection and may be accompanied by symptoms such as fever and fatigue. During treatment, you can use amoxicillin capsules, cefixime dispersible tablets, or levofloxacin tablets as directed by your doctor. Epididymitis is often caused by retrograde urinary tract infection to the epididymis, and may be accompanied by symptoms such as frequent urination and urgency. During treatment, you can use drugs such as ciprofloxacin hydrochloride tablets, norfloxacin capsules or cefuroxime axetil tablets as directed by your doctor.

    Varicocele may be related to venous valve insufficiency and may be accompanied by symptoms such as scrotal swelling. In mild cases, a scrotal support can be used to relieve symptoms, but in severe cases, surgery may be required. Testicular torsion usually involves sudden severe pain, which may be accompanied by symptoms such as nausea and vomiting, and requires emergency surgical reduction and fixation. Testicular swelling and pain caused by trauma may be accompanied by congestion, swelling and other symptoms. In mild cases, it can be relieved by cold compress, but in severe cases, medical treatment is required.

    In daily life, you should avoid strenuous exercise or long-term riding, choose loose and breathable underwear, and keep your vagina clean and dry. The diet should be light, avoid spicy and irritating foods, and increase the intake of broccoli, kiwi fruit and other foods rich in vitamin C in an appropriate amount. If symptoms persist or worsen, you should seek medical examination promptly to avoid delaying treatment.
