    Testicles that are sometimes soft and sometimes hard may be caused by physiological phenomena, orchitis, epididymitis, etc. The cause must be clarified and targeted treatment must be provided.

    1. Physiological phenomena

    Usually the testis is an organ that can contract. When stimulated by cold, it will shrink and become harder. When stimulated by heat, the testicle will relax and become relatively soft. This is a physiological phenomenon and does not require special treatment.

    2. Orchitis

    Failure to do a good job of local cleaning and hygiene may lead to local bacterial infection, leading to orchitis. This can be improved by using doxycycline tablets, cefixime dispersible tablets and other drugs under the guidance of a doctor.

    3. Epididymitis

    It is usually caused by severe irritation, and can be improved by using cefixime dispersible tablets, amoxicillin capsules and other drugs as directed by your doctor.

    In addition to the above reasons, specific cell-related detection and symptomatic treatment may also be caused by prostatic hyperplasia.
