Patient's question:
For a while now, my testicles have been slightly swollen and aching. Recently, they've started to hurt more, especially when touched, and it feels particularly intense. It seems there's also some swelling on the other side. I'm very worried. Could you please tell me: How should epididymitis be treated to heal?Doctor's answer:
Acute epididymitis can also be caused by external force pushing, resulting in a feeling of the testicle being squeezed. Most patients with epididymitis 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 sensation, and referred pain in the lower abdomen and groin area, which intensify when standing or walking. The condition of epididymitis tends to recur, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is important to actively seek diagnosis from professional and reputable hospitals and consider treatment based on examination results. Additionally, it is necessary to abstain from sexual activity and maintain a positive mood. Finally, we wish all patients a speedy recovery.
