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 severe pain in my testicles every day, and sometimes I also have high fever. I am really struggling with this. Could you please answer the following question: Why is one testicle larger during the treatment of epididymitis?Doctor's answer:
After treatment for epididymitis, most patients will recover. It does not cause testicular enlargement. If there is a sensation of pain or dragging, a urinalysis and scrotal ultrasound can be repeated for further confirmation of recurrence. It is recommended to drink more water and avoid prolonged standing. In fact, epididymitis is not something to be feared. Patients should believe that they can overcome the illness. As long as symptoms are detected early and treated accordingly, the chances of stabilizing the condition and recovering are very high.
