Patient's question:
I am 27 years old. Last night while taking a shower, I noticed that my testicles felt a bit swollen. I woke up earlier and seemed to have a fever, which became more severe in the afternoon. I went to the hospital for a check-up and was told that I have orchitis. I am really very worried. Could you please explain why a mild swelling at the tail of the epididymis was detected as normal on ultrasound?Doctor's answer:
It is said that you went to the gas station. As long as you don't have symptoms, you don't need to worry. Temporarily monitor carefully, and if there are no changes in pain, aching, or abnormal sexual function, there is no need. Hmm, surgery is the solution, right? Engage in appropriate activities on a daily basis, avoid overexertion, and do not drain your body. Also, avoid excessive fatigue or work that increases blood pressure in this area. If you have any bad habits, such as sexual activity or smoking and drinking, you should quit. Only by eliminating these habits can you fully recover. Also, avoid excessive sexual activity, as it can also cause issues. The above advice is for the question "Mild swelling and pain in the tail of the epididymis, ultrasound shows no problems." I hope it helps you. For severe epididymal conditions, it is recommended to seek medical attention promptly and follow the doctor's advice for timely treatment. Avoid using medication blindly, as it may worsen the condition.
