Inflammation, especially epididymitis or orchitis, can indeed cause pain in the scrotum. This pain is usually accompanied by swelling and discomfort at the site of inflammation. The pain from inflamed scrotum may feel like a dull ache or a sharp pain, and sometimes it may radiate to the thigh or lower abdomen.
Urethral inflammation can be caused by bacterial or viral infections, and is commonly seen in sexually transmitted infections such as gonorrhea or chlamydia. These infections are usually accompanied by increased urethral discharge, painful urination, and the risk of transmission between sexual partners. If symptoms occur after meals or upon waking, it may be because certain physical activities or changes in posture have exacerbated the inflammation.
Another possibility is that it is related to local trauma or surgery, in which case adenitis may develop secondary to these conditions. Accompanying symptoms may include local redness, swelling, fever, and increased pain. If symptoms continue to worsen, with high fever or chills, it is necessary to seek immediate medical attention to prevent the condition from deteriorating.
[Management Tip:]
1. Maintain good personal hygiene habits and clean the genital area regularly.
2. Avoid unsafe sexual practices and use condoms to reduce the risk of infection.
3. Pay attention to a healthy diet, avoid spicy and irritating foods, and reduce the risk of inflammation.
4. If any abnormal symptoms occur, seek medical attention promptly to avoid self-diagnosis and treatment.
