Patient's question:
Left testicle has been aching and swollen recently. Could you please help me understand what this condition is and how to treat it? Is early epididymitis relatively effective to treat?Doctor's answer:
Epididymitis is an inflammation caused by the spread of prostatitis and seminal vesiculitis along the vas deferens to the epididymis in the urinary system. It is generally divided into acute and chronic forms. If you have acute epididymitis, treatment should be initiated within 24 hours, using procaine anesthesia for anti-inflammatory treatment, which can completely relieve pain. In general treatment, antibiotics should also be used. The condition of epididymitis is prone to recurrence, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is necessary to seek medical attention at a professional and reputable hospital immediately, and treatment should be considered based on detailed examination results. Additionally, it is important to abstain from sexual activity and maintain a positive mood. Finally, we wish all patients a speedy recovery.
