Patient's question:
Recently, I've been feeling constant pain in my testicles, and this week I've also had a fever. Usually, I feel cold, and when I take a bath, I notice that my testicles seem to contain a lot of liquid. Please ask: How should I treat epididymitis?Doctor's answer:
Epididymitis is common in young and middle-aged men. When the immune system is weakened, bacteria infiltrate the epididymis, causing inflammation, often followed by posterior urethritis, prostatitis, seminal vesiculitis, and other conditions. Epididymitis requires visiting the urology department for proper, full-course antibiotic intravenous treatment, bed rest, as otherwise, the condition is prone to recurring. Due to the tendency of epididymitis to recur, long-term medication maintenance is necessary. For male patients, it is essential to seek medical attention at a professional and reputable hospital immediately and consider treatment based on examination results. Additionally, it is important to quit smoking and drinking, maintain personal hygiene, and finally, wish all patients a speedy recovery.
