Patient's question:
I had a cold recently, so I thought the fever and chills were just due to the cold. But the fever didn't go down, and when I went to the hospital for a check-up, the doctor said I had epididymitis. I don't know how I got this disease, but I'm asking: where should I go to treat epididymitis, and where is it relatively safer?Doctor's answer:
Epididymitis can cause significant interference for men. When men suffer from epididymitis, they may experience symptoms such as chills, high fever, scrotal swelling, redness and warmth of the scrotal skin, and pain that radiates to the groin and lower abdomen. In severe cases, inflammation may recur! During treatment, men should pay attention to resting in bed and elevating the scrotum. In terms of diet, it is advisable to consume lighter foods and maintain good hygiene for the genital area. Additionally, to ensure the safety of your treatment, it is recommended to choose a reputable urological hospital! For patients with epididymitis, timely treatment can reduce the risk of complications. If left untreated, it may affect overall health. Therefore, patients should seek timely symptomatic treatment and maintain a regular sex life while avoiding prolonged sitting. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
