Patient's question:
My testicles have been slightly swollen for a while, and recently I've started feeling some pain, especially when touched, it hurts very badly. Also, the other side seems to be slightly swollen. I'm very worried. Please ask: How does epididymitis occur?Doctor's answer:
Most male patients are caused by neglecting their lifestyle habits. Irregular living habits may lead to the occurrence of epididymitis. The main reason is that long-term unhealthy lifestyle habits can cause other urinary tract infections, which in turn can lead to epididymitis. In addition to male patients who develop epididymitis due to other diseases, infections around the epididymis from surrounding organs, or surgical treatment, complications may arise due to negligence during the treatment process. Epididymitis tends to recur, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is important to seek professional and regular medical treatment promptly, and treatment should be considered based on examination results. Additionally, proper diet and abstinence from sexual activity should be maintained. Finally, we wish all patients a speedy recovery.
