Patient's question:
This situation has been going on for a while. I often feel like there's fluid buildup in my testicles, and they are red and swollen. However, because it's that particular area, it's a bit embarrassing to see a doctor. I did some research and think it might be testicular inflammation. Could you please ask: What are the common ways to treat epididymitis?Doctor's answer:
Epididymitis is an inflammation caused by the spread of prostatitis and seminal vesiculitis along the vas deferens to the epididymis in the urinary system. It is generally divided into acute and chronic forms. If you have acute epididymitis, treatment should be administered within 24 hours. Treatment involves procaine anesthesia and anti-inflammatory therapy, which can completely relieve pain. In general treatment, antibiotics should also be used. For patients with epididymitis, timely treatment can reduce the risk of recurrence. If left untreated, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should receive timely medication and pay close attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
