Patient's question:
Knowing that there is a feeling of discomfort in the body, I didn't go to see a doctor. Please ask: Which method is better for treating epididymitis?Doctor's answer:
Please check carefully.1. Laboratory check. Peripheral blood white blood cells can reach (2～3) × 10^9/L. Urine discharge can be checked with staining or non-staining. Urinalysis is also an important check method.
2. Ultrasound check. It can reflect the swelling and inflammation range of the epididymis and testis.
3. MRI check. Epididymitis is diffuse or focal. On T2-weighted images, the epididymal signal can be the same as or lower than the testicular signal.
In the emergency department, tests that can be checked include peripheral blood tests. The emergency department can also perform ultrasound for severe epididymitis.
