Patient's question:
Recently, I've been feeling a lot of 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 touch my testicles and feel like there's a lot of liquid inside. Please ask: How can epididymitis be treated and improved?Doctor's answer:
Epididymitis is common in young and middle-aged men. When the immune system is weakened, bacteria infiltrate the epididymis, causing inflammation, which often follows urethritis, prostatitis, and seminal vesiculitis. Patients with epididymitis need to consult a urologist for proper, full-course antibiotic intravenous treatment and bed rest, as otherwise, the condition is prone to recurring. Epididymitis can be cured, but the treatment period is usually long, and relapse is common after recovery. Therefore, medications must be used symptomatically during treatment. Additionally, patients should maintain a light diet, avoid foods, and not smoke or drink beer. We hope male patients can recover quickly.
