Patient's question:
I noticed that the skin on my testicles is particularly red, and it seems a bit swollen. It also hurts when I touch it. This symptom has not improved for a week. I'm still young and haven't even been married. I'm really scared. Could you please tell me: What is the best way to treat epididymitis?Doctor's answer:
Epididymitis is a common disease among young and middle-aged adults. Whenever the body's resistance is low, pathogenic bacteria such as Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus, and Streptococcus take the opportunity to enter the vas deferens in reverse and infiltrate the epididymis, causing inflammation. Therefore, this condition often follows secondary urethritis, prostatitis, and seminal vesiculitis. Since the disease tends to progress and vary in cause, its treatment methods differ. Based on your description, it is recommended that you actively seek medical attention for a thorough examination and follow the doctor's advice for medication.
