Patient's question:
I am 26 years old, and I recently had a urological health check-up. It was found that I have early epididymitis. At that time, I also had some discomfort in my private area but didn't pay attention. What are the symptoms of male epididymitis?Doctor's answer:
I don't know how you are doing. What symptoms do you have? How long have you had them? Epididymitis is divided into two types: acute and chronic. Sexually transmitted epididymitis is mostly caused by bacteria spreading backward from the urethra. Symptoms may include fever, testicular swelling, pain, and in severe cases, recurrent epididymitis and orchitis, as well as redness, swelling, heat, and pain in the scrotum. Active anti-inflammatory treatment is necessary, generally lasting more than four weeks. Sexually transmitted epididymitis can result from untreated acute epididymitis, leading to symptoms such as epididymal swelling, hardness, and sexual pain. Patients with orchitis, in addition to timely treatment, should also pay attention to maintaining deep sleep, as sufficient deep sleep can help you recover quickly and distance yourself from the disease. I hope the above answers can help you. Thank you.
