Patient's question:
I feel like I might have epididymitis. I noticed that the skin on my testicles is particularly red, and it seems a bit swollen. It also hurts when I touch it. These symptoms have persisted for a week without any improvement. I'm still young and haven't even been married yet. I'm really scared. Could you please tell me: How should I treat epididymitis?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, this situation is mostly a symptom of epididymitis. It is recommended to go to the hospital as soon as possible for a thorough examination and ultrasound to confirm the diagnosis, followed by symptomatic treatment. Antibiotics can be used, and it is advisable to drink more water, avoid alcohol and spicy foods. Wishing you health and happiness! Epididymitis can be cured, but the treatment period is generally long, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor's medication plan during treatment. Additionally, it is recommended to develop good lifestyle habits and maintain a proper diet during the treatment period. We hope that male patients can recover as soon as possible!
