Patient's question:
This situation has been going on for a while. I often feel like there's fluid accumulation in the testicles, and they are red and swollen. However, because it's a sensitive area, I haven't been comfortable going to the doctor. I did some research and think it might be epididymitis. Could you please advise on how to care for epididymitis in a safe and effective way?Doctor's answer:
Epididymitis for 40 days, the color Doppler ultrasound examination revealed a lump, but currently there are no discomforts. Generally, after treatment, a lump or nodule may remain, which usually does not disappear and does not require special treatment—no need to worry. Avoid drinking beer and eating spicy foods. Epididymitis can be cured, but the treatment period is usually long, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, medication must be used according to symptoms. Additionally, patients should maintain a light diet, avoid foods, and not smoke or drink beer. It is hoped that male patients can recover as soon as possible.
