Patient's question:
I am a male, 30 years old, and do not have any bad habits. However, I was recently diagnosed with epididymitis. Now, I feel constant pain in my testicles, and sometimes I also have high fever. I am really troubled now. Could you please advise on how to choose a more reputable hospital for treating epididymitis?Doctor's answer:
Orchitis is the most common cause of testicular pain in men. Orchitis is an inflammation of the testicles. In most cases, it is caused by the progression of a testicular disease. Due to the stimulation of inflammation, the testicles may experience pain again. Moreover, having orchitis can severely damage male testicular function, reducing the ability of the testicles to produce sperm. If not treated promptly, it can lead to male infertility.Advice: Antibiotics are ineffective against viral orchitis, and treatment should follow the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) for syndrome differentiation and treatment. Epididymitis can be relieved, but the treatment period is usually long, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor's medication plan during treatment!
