Patient's question:
Recently, I've been feeling constant pain in my testicles, and this week alone, I've had a fever twice. I often feel cold, and when I take a shower, I notice that my testicles seem to contain a lot of liquid. Please ask: How is it best to treat epididymitis?Doctor's answer:
Hello. Clinical diagnostic symptoms of orchitis: minimal white discharge from the urethra or soiled underwear, accompanied by systemic symptoms such as high fever, chills, nausea, and dry cough. Locally, it manifests as testicular pain, redness and swelling of the scrotal skin, significant testicular enlargement, and tenderness. Epididymitis is a common non-specific infectious disease in the male reproductive system. This condition primarily presents with sudden pain in the scrotal area, swelling of the epididymis, pronounced tenderness, and may be accompanied by fever, epididymal hardening, etc. It is recommended to seek medical attention promptly for diagnosis and treatment. For patients with epididymitis, timely treatment can reduce the risk of recurrence. If left untreated, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should take medication promptly and maintain regular sexual activity in daily life while avoiding prolonged sitting. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
