Question
A parent’s child has been experiencing testicular pain for about a week, and the parent wants to understand how to handle the situation.
Answer
Doctors recommend that the parent take the child to a urology department for an ultrasound examination and closely monitor the situation. If the testicular head does not show significant growth, no special treatment is usually required. However, if the testicular head increases by less than two millimeters, surgery may be needed to remove it. The doctor suspects that the child may have epididymitis and therefore advises on diagnosis and the administration of antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medications.
