Patient's question:
Recently, I've been feeling constant pain in my testicles, and this week alone, I've had a fever 11 times. I usually feel cold, and when I take a shower, I notice that my testicles seem to contain a lot of liquid. Please ask: How should I treat epididymitis?Doctor's answer:
Epididymitis is often caused by pathogenic bacteria such as Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus, or Streptococcus entering the epididymis through the vas deferens. Therefore, this condition is commonly secondary to posterior urethritis, prostatitis, or seminal vesiculitis, or it may recur after urethral instrumentation, leading to infection through a retrograde route. Acute cases primarily manifest as redness, swelling, and pain in the epididymis and testis.How is epididymitis treated? It is recommended that you seek medical treatment promptly. The methods for treating epididymitis include the use of antibiotics, blood-activating herbs, and surgical drainage. Wishing you a speedy recovery. Epididymitis can be relieved, but the treatment duration is generally long, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, active cooperation with your doctor is essential during the treatment process.
