Question
A 10-year-old boy, previously in good health, accidentally hit his scrotum while playing, resulting in torsion of the left scrotal appendage and orchitis, accompanied by swelling and pain in the scrotum.
Answer
The causes of testicular pain are numerous, including orchitis, testicular tumor, hydrocele of the tunica vaginalis, hydrocele, varicocele, seminal vesiculitis, prostatitis, and epididymitis. Children with weaker constitutions are more prone to vascular malformations. It is advised that parents do not worry and should take their child to a regular hospital for examination and treatment promptly, and regularly check-ups should be made while following the doctor’s instructions for medication.
