Patient's question:

I am a white-collar office worker, 32 years old. Throughout the day, I sit at my desk and am very busy, so I rarely get up to move around. Because of this, I was recently diagnosed with orchitis. Now, I am in constant pain every day and don't know what to do. Please ask: How can a hard lump in the epididymis and left testicular pain be treated?

Doctor's answer:

You have inflammation in your left epididymis. Avoid spicy and irritating foods, smoking, and alcohol. Prevent prolonged sitting and overtime work. Focus on oral levofloxacin treatment for the inflammation, which requires about two weeks of medication. During the medication period, apply a warm towel to the scrotum and use cold compresses twice a day, each time for about half an hour. In fact, having epididymitis is not scary. Patients should believe that they can overcome the illness. As long as symptoms are detected in time and treated accordingly, the chances of stabilizing the condition and recovering are very high.
