Patient's question:
Currently, it's still swollen and painful. I have already received intravenous drips for 6 days, using penicillin and cephalexin, and taking azithromycin granules. I have also applied a blood-activating and anti-inflammatory ointment, but the condition hasn't improved. What are the surgical treatment methods for testicular inflammation?Doctor's answer:
Epididymitis is commonly caused by retrograde transmission, such as from urinary tract infections, prostatitis, postoperative complications, indwelling catheter use in patients during detention, and so on; it can also spread hematogenously to the testicles. Clinical symptoms are often characterized by unilateral testicular pain radiating to the groin, redness and swelling of the scrotal skin, testicular swelling, and significant pain. It is recommended that you seek medical attention early for relevant testicular examinations. Maintain a light diet, avoid alcohol and smoking, and refrain from unsafe sexual practices. Avoid excessive frequency of sexual activity or intercourse, and pay attention to the hygiene of your genital area. If you have phimosis, it is advisable to undergo circumcision surgery early.
