Patient's question:
I am 26 years old. I recently had a urological health check-up and found that I have early epididymitis. At the time, I also felt a bit uncomfortable in my private area but didn't pay much attention. I am asking how to treat early epididymitis properly?Doctor's answer:
Early symptoms of epididymitis, the systemic symptoms of orchitis are prominent: chills, high fever, significant swelling of the scrotum on one side, redness and warmth of the scrotal skin, pain radiating along the spermatic cord, lower abdomen, and perineum. The testicles and spermatic cord may be reduced or thickened and swollen, with unclear boundaries of the head and tail of the epididymis. Pain intensifies during a feeling of heaviness, accompanied by bladder irritation symptoms. White blood cells and neutrophils may decrease. Generally, sexual symptoms can gradually subside after one week. Orchitis is treatable, and timely, systematic, and effective treatment can prevent testicular damage.
