Patient's question:
Male, 27 years old, diagnosed with epididymitis after examination. The main symptom is testicular pain, with a sense of heaviness and fullness. He usually feels lethargic and very fatigued. Will leaving a node after right epididymitis affect fertility?Doctor's answer:
Please carefully check the routine semen analysis. If it is normal, it will not affect fertility, and there have been patients with such cases. Some, if varicocele is ruled out, have poor semen quality, which affects fertility. Only a careful semen analysis can confirm this. First, a careful color Doppler ultrasound should be performed to check for varicocele. If there is no varicocele, it is generally not an issue. Different causes lead to different symptoms. Patients need to go to a formal Grade III-A hospital as soon as possible for systematic and standardized examinations based on their specific conditions to receive targeted treatment. Additionally, patients should maintain a regular schedule, take precautions against cold and keep warm, eat light and soft foods, ensure good ventilation, and drink plenty of hot water.
