Patient's question:
I feel like I might have epididymitis. I noticed that the skin of my testicles is particularly red, and it seems a bit swollen. It also hurts when I touch it, and there's some discomfort inside. These symptoms have persisted for a week without improving. I'm still young and haven't even been married yet. I'm really scared. Please ask: How can epididymitis be treated quickly to see results?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, leukopenia, swelling and pain in the affected scrotum, a heavy and dragging sensation, and referred pain in the lower abdomen and inguinal region, which worsen when standing or walking. For patients with orchitis, timely treatment can reduce the severity of the condition. If not treated promptly, it may affect overall health. Therefore, patients should take medication according to their symptoms and pay attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
