Patient's question:
For a while now, my testicles have been slightly swollen and aching. Recently, they started to hurt, especially when touched, and the other side seems to be swollen as well. I'm very worried. Please ask: How should epididymitis be treated?Doctor's answer:
Treating Epididymitis, Chronic epididymitis can be caused by acute epididymitis that does not heal properly, but most patients do not have a history of acute recurrence. The clinical manifestations of this disease vary greatly, and patients may experience local discomfort, a sense of heaviness or swelling in the scrotum, or pain that radiates to the lower abdomen and the inner side of the same thigh. Sometimes, acute recurrence symptoms may occur. It can occur on one side or both sides, and can manifest as symptoms ranging from mild, intermittent discomfort to severe, persistent pain. For patients, if the condition of epididymitis is severe, immediate symptomatic treatment and proper medication should be administered, otherwise it may lead to complications of epididymitis. In addition, patients need to maintain a positive mood at all times to avoid worsening the condition. It is hoped that the answers to the above questions can help everyone. Thank you.
