Patient's question:
The duration of sexual activity was only 1.5 minutes, with testicular swelling and pain, fever, and severe heaviness. The examination revealed epididymitis. What tests are needed to treat epididymitis?Doctor's answer:
It can be used for ultrasound examination: Magnetic resonance imaging is of great value in the diagnosis of acute epididymitis, especially in differential diagnosis. In acute epididymitis, ultrasound shows diffuse and uniform swelling of the epididymis; it may also show localized swelling, more commonly at the tail, appearing as nodules with a spherical sensation. The internal echoes are uneven, with thickened echoes and lower echo intensity compared to the testis, with blurred boundaries. Some may be adhered to the scrotal wall, with thickened scrotal wall and often accompanied by hydrocele. The ipsilateral spermatic cord is thickened, with varicocele. Urinalysis is also an important examination method. Therefore, patients should take medication promptly and avoid overexertion in daily life, pay attention to personal hygiene, and wish you a speedy recovery.
