Patient's question:
I am 26 years old. I recently had a urological health check-up and found that I have early epididymitis. At that time, I also felt a bit uncomfortable in my private area but didn't pay much attention. I am wondering if epididymitis can be treated and cured?Doctor's answer:
Hello, epididymitis is a common urological disease in men. Epididymitis often occurs in young or middle-aged adults. Epididymitis is divided into acute epididymitis and chronic epididymitis, which poses a serious threat to men's health and may even lead to male infertility. General treatment methods: During the acute phase, bed rest should be taken. Using a scrotal support can alleviate symptoms. Using a scrotal support with a larger cotton pad makes it more comfortable to wear. Severe pain patients can take painkillers. Local heat therapy can relieve symptoms and promote inflammation subsidence. Premature use of heat therapy can worsen pain and increase the risk of infection spreading. Early use is recommended with local cold packs.
