How can epididymitis be treated?

Patient's question:

I used to have epididymitis. The symptoms include testicular pain, a heavy and distended sensation, and sometimes a lack of energy, looking tired. How can one treat epididymitis?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, is it a scrotal mass or an epididymal one? Most patients with painful solid masses have inflammation. Painful masses outside the testicle may be epididymitis, and antibiotics should be used to reduce inflammation.
2. Rest in bed, elevate the scrotum, apply cold compresses to the area for treatment.
1% lidocaine spermatic cord block anesthesia can reduce pain.
3. If an abscess forms, incision and drainage may be necessary. Early use of sufficient antibiotics, such as penicillin and azithromycin, can help recover from orchitis.
Additionally, for patients with orchitis, their diet and care during treatment are also very important. Patients must pay attention to their diet and eat more light foods to avoid unnecessary harm. I hope the above answers can help you. Thank you.
