Patient's question:
I am an office white-collar worker. Throughout the day, I sit at my desk and am very busy, so I rarely get up to move around. Because of this, I was recently told that I have orchitis. Now, I am in great pain every day and don't know what to do. Could you please tell me: Which clinics or hospitals can treat epididymitis?Doctor's answer:
How to conduct a thorough examination of epididymitis? Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) plays a significant role in the diagnosis of acute epididymitis, especially in differentiating the diagnosis. In acute epididymitis, ultrasound shows diffuse and uniform swelling of the epididymis; it can also present with localized swelling, more commonly at the tail, appearing as nodules with a spherical sensation. The internal echoes are uneven, with thickened light spots and lower echo intensity compared to the testis, with blurred boundaries. In some cases, it may be adhered to the scrotal wall, with thickening of the scrotal wall, often accompanied by hydrocele. The ipsilateral spermatic cord becomes thickened, and varicocele may be present. Urinalysis is also an important examination method. Maintain a regular lifestyle and ensure bowel movements remain smooth.
