Patient's question:
I am a male, 28 years old, and have no bad habits. However, I was recently diagnosed with orchitis, and now I feel constant pain in my testicles every day. Sometimes I also have high fever. I am really troubled now. Could you please explain what causes the pain in the right epididymis?Doctor's answer:
You described symptoms very similar to epididymitis. An ultrasound examination is recommended for diagnosis. Epididymitis must be treated once and for all. Otherwise, it is easy to leave behind sequelae, which is epididymal cyst. In the future, epididymitis may recur repeatedly, and in severe cases, surgery may be required to remove the cyst. It is recommended to first go to the hospital for an ultrasound examination of the testicles, epididymis, and spermatic vein for diagnosis. If it is epididymitis, it is necessary to stay in bed as much as possible and receive intravenous antibiotics. If you are not allergic to cephalosporin antibiotics, use cephalosporin antibiotics. In fact, having epididymitis is not scary at all. Patients should believe that they can overcome the illness. As long as treatment is timely in the early stages, the chances of stabilizing the condition and recovering are very high.
