Patient's question:
I am 28 years old, and I have had a high fever for 2 days. I am also very afraid of cold. At first, I thought it was just a cold, but then I noticed that my testicles were getting more and more painful, and when I touched them, it felt like there was water inside. I went to the hospital for a check-up and was diagnosed with orchitis.Question: How can I treat the increasing hard lump in the epididymis?
Doctor's answer:
Epididymitis, in most cases, is caused by inflammatory stimulation and may cause significant pain in the testicles, although it does not necessarily lead to a noticeable reduction. An ultrasound examination can be performed to identify the underlying cause. Oral medication is acceptable, and it is also important to prevent repeated rubbing and squeezing. Additionally, during the treatment of epididymitis, apart from immediate treatment, the patient's dietary condition and psychological state are also crucial. The patient must maintain a light diet and a cheerful, optimistic mindset to avoid unnecessary negative impacts on the recovery of epididymitis.
