Patient's question:
Hello, I have testicular pain and a sensation of heaviness. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, the doctor said I have epididymitis. How is it best to treat epididymitis?Doctor's answer:
Orchitis is the most common cause of testicular pain in men. Orchitis is inflammation of the testicles. In most cases, it is caused by the progression of testicular diseases. Due to the stimulation of inflammation, the testicles may experience pain again. Moreover, orchitis can severely damage male testicular function, reducing the ability of the testicles to produce sperm. If not treated promptly, it may lead to male infertility.Recommendation: Antibiotics are ineffective against viral orchitis. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) should be used for syndrome differentiation and treatment.
