Patient's question:
Recently, I've always felt pain in my testicles, and this week I've had a fever five times. Usually, I feel cold, and when I take a shower, I touch my testicles and feel like there's a lot of liquid inside. Please ask: What should I do if I get epididymitis?Doctor's answer:
Epididymitis is a common disease among young and middle-aged adults. When the body's resistance is low, pathogens such as Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus, and Streptococcus can enter the vas deferens and reverse their way into the epididymis, causing inflammation. Rest in bed and using a scrotal support or a specially designed soft pad to hold the scrotum can alleviate symptoms. Severe pain can be relieved with pain medication, and local heat therapy can ease symptoms and promote inflammation reduction. For patients with epididymitis, timely treatment can reduce the incidence of the disease. 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.
