Patient's question:
Recently, I've been feeling a lot of pain in my testicles, and this week I've also had a fever. Normally, I often feel cold, and when I take a bath, I feel like there's a lot of liquid inside my testicles. Please ask: What is the best method to treat epididymitis?Doctor's answer:
Epididymitis is a common disease among young and middle-aged adults. When the body's resistance is low, pathogenic bacteria such as Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus, and Streptococcus can enter the vas deferens and reverse the epididymis, causing inflammation. Therefore, this condition often follows secondary urethritis, prostatitis, and seminal vesiculitis. Generally, patients with epididymitis will develop a lump, which most commonly occurs at the head or tail of the epididymis, with the tail being more prevalent. For patients with epididymitis, timely treatment can reduce the severity of the condition. If left untreated, it can affect overall health. Therefore, patients should take medication promptly and pay close attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
