Patient's question:
For a while now, my testicles have been slightly swollen with a dull ache. Recently, they've started to hurt more, especially when touched, and the other side seems to be swollen as well. I'm very worried. Could you please tell me: Can epididymitis be treated and improve?Doctor's answer:
Treating Epididymitis, Chronic epididymitis can be caused by untreated acute epididymitis, but most patients do not have a history of acute recurrence. The clinical manifestations of this disease vary greatly, and patients may experience local discomfort, a sense of heaviness or swelling in the scrotum, or pain that radiates to the lower abdomen and the inner side of the same thigh. Sometimes, acute recurrence symptoms may occur. It can recur on one or both sides and may manifest as symptoms ranging from mild, intermittent discomfort to severe, persistent pain. For patients with epididymitis, timely treatment can reduce the incidence of the disease. If left untreated, it can affect overall health. Therefore, patients should seek timely symptomatic treatment and pay attention to avoiding overexertion in daily life while maintaining good personal hygiene. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
