Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I have a problem with my testicle. Four years ago, I experienced nightfall, and in the morning, I noticed that my right testicle was slightly larger in length. I visited a surgeon who prescribed medication and assured me that it was not a significant issue and would resolve it on its own. However, even after four years, there is still some swelling. Recently, I consulted another surgeon who performed a color doppler ultrasound and asked if I experienced any pain. I mentioned that I sometimes have slight pain. The surgeon diagnosed it as mild acute orchitis and prescribed medication. After taking the medication for five days, I went back to the surgeon for another doppler examination. This time, the surgeon stated that there was nothing wrong and that my testicle was fine. The doctor suggested that the swelling is due to anatomical reasons and ruled out orchitis or torsion. However, I did not have this swelling before four years, and I can feel the swelling in the testes when I touch it. The right testicle also feels heavier and seems to be pushing downward. Additionally, I have been experiencing a change in my feelings towards women. Instead of finding them attractive, as I did previously, I now lack that type of interest. These concerns are causing me significant discomfort and fear. Please help me regarding this matter.

Hello,

Your search for all your healthcare needs ends here at icliniq.com.

I understood your concern and will definitely help you regarding the issue.

For the proper resolution of your query, I kindly request you to attach your scrotal doppler ultrasonography reports. It would also be helpful to have a recent ultrasonogram of the scrotum with doppler. In addition, it is also important to assess your hormonal profile and liver function so I suggest you to undergo tests to evaluate the level of your serum testosterone, follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), and prolactin hormones to evaluate your hormonal profile. One possible reason for your reduced interest in the opposite sex could be a decrease in male hormones. Another factor to consider is altered liver function. Testicular failure in producing an adequate level of male hormones could also contribute to this issue. Only after evaluating all these factors will we be able to determine the appropriate course of management. As for the variable size of the testis and epididymis, the scan report should provide information on any abnormalities present. I hope this has helped you. Kindly follow up if you have more doubts. Thank you.
