Patient's question:
Male, 21 years old. One month ago, I went for a military physical examination and found that I have varicocele. Before the examination, I didn't feel anything. After finding out about this condition, my attention focused on my testicles, and sometimes I would touch them. Recently, my right testicle has been a bit painful. It hurts when I touch it, but if I don't touch it, it doesn't hurt. Could it be epididymitis? Are people with epididymitis in a lot of pain?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, the epididymitis you mentioned is a chronic condition, primarily characterized by abnormal urination, abdominal discomfort, and a sense of heaviness and fullness in the lower abdomen. The treatment effect is not very ideal. Currently, clinical diagnosis generally adopts a combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine for treatment. It is also important for you to pay attention to a balance between work and rest, and avoid prolonged sitting. Epididymitis is a condition that is difficult to relieve. Friends with this condition should maintain a positive mindset and face it with optimism. Only in this way can they significantly boost their confidence in combating epididymitis and believe that recovery is definitely achievable.
