Patient's question:
For a while now, my testicles have been slightly swollen and aching. Recently, they started to hurt, especially when touched, and it's particularly severe. It seems there's also some swelling on the other side. I'm very worried. Could you please tell me what causes epididymitis?Doctor's answer:
Based on the current situation and symptoms you described, it is primarily due to chronic epididymitis that has led to the recurrence of the aforementioned condition. Currently, it is still necessary to focus on using anti-inflammatory medications for treatment, or you can also combine it with local cold compresses, both of which are effective in improving the current condition and symptoms. It is recommended that you pay close attention and observe carefully. For patients with epididymitis, timely treatment can reduce the likelihood of recurrence. If it is not treated promptly, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should take timely and symptomatic treatment, and maintain regular sexual activity in daily life to avoid prolonged sitting. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
