Patient's question:
Hello doctor, my testicles are quite painful and have a heavy sensation. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, they said I have epididymitis. How should I treat this condition?Doctor's answer:
Acute orchitis can also be caused by external force pushing, resulting in a sensation of the testicle being squeezed. Most patients with orchitis will have a lump, which mostly occurs at the head or tail of the epididymis, with the tail being more common. After an epididymal infection, nodes are often left behind at the tail or head. Sudden high fever, decreased white blood cells, swelling and pain in the affected scrotum, a heavy and dragging sensation, and referred pain in the lower abdomen and inguinal area that worsens when standing or walking. The condition of orchitis tends to recur, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is important to actively seek treatment at professional and reputable hospitals based on examination results. Additionally, proper diet and abstinence from sexual activity should be maintained. Finally, we wish all patients a speedy recovery.
