Patient's question:
This situation has been going on for a while. I often feel like there's fluid accumulation in the testicles, and they are swollen and red. However, because it's a sensitive area, it's a bit embarrassing to see a doctor. I did some research and think it might be testicular inflammation. Could you please advise on how to treat epididymitis?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that you seek medical examination and treatment at a regular hospital as soon as possible. Paying attention to daily life matters is also important. Patients should avoid alcohol and spicy foods to eliminate the source of internal damp-heat. Cold exposure in the groin area, excessive sexual activity, and holding urine can easily stimulate the sympathetic nervous system, leading to difficulty in urination, which should also be noted and prevented. Some patients may have a gradually enlarging BFH, and symptoms of uremia may appear during the visit. Therefore, elderly men experiencing urinary abnormalities should undergo examination and treatment. For severe cases of epididymitis, it is recommended to seek medical attention promptly and follow the doctor's advice for timely treatment. Avoid using medication blindly to prevent worsening the condition. The above suggestions are for reference only. It is hoped that the above answer can help you. Thank you.
