Patient's question:
I am a 26-year-old male. Last week, I noticed that my testicles were a bit red, but since there were no symptoms, I didn't take it seriously. Last night while taking a shower, I accidentally touched my testicles and felt some pain. When I touched them myself, it seemed like there was a lot of liquid inside. I am very scared. Please ask: If I have epididymitis, how should I take care of it?Doctor's answer:

Otherwise, it may lead to a recurrence of the condition. Moreover, patients should always maintain a positive mood to avoid exacerbating the.
