Patient's question:
The left testicle has been aching and swollen recently. Could you please help me understand what this might be and how to effectively treat epididymitis?Doctor's answer:
Based on your description and symptoms, it is possible that you may be experiencing a recurrence of epididymitis. It is recommended that you actively receive anti-inflammatory treatment. Additionally, it is advisable to undergo a scrotal ultrasound examination to check for the presence of an epididymal cyst, so that targeted treatment can be provided. In case of necessity, surgical treatment may be considered. Epididymitis can be cured, but the treatment period is generally long, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is essential to actively cooperate with your doctor during treatment, take medication appropriately, and maintain a healthy lifestyle with proper diet. We hope that the male patient can recover as soon as possible!
