Patient's question:
For a while now, my testicles have been slightly swollen with a dull ache. Recently, they've started to hurt, especially when touched, and it's particularly intense. It seems there's also some swelling on the other side. I'm very worried. Could you please tell me where are the good hospitals for treating epididymitis?Doctor's answer:
Chronic orchitis patients have relatively mild symptoms and diverse clinical manifestations. They may experience a sense of heaviness and distension in the scrotum, with pain that can radiate to the lower abdomen and the inner side of the same thigh. The affected epididymis may be mildly swollen, hardened, and form a lump, with localized tenderness being. The ipsilateral vas deferens may become thickened, and there may be a history of occasional acute recurrences. For orchitis patients, timely treatment can reduce the likelihood of recurrence. If left untreated, it can affect fertility. Therefore, patients should seek timely symptomatic treatment and pay close attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
