Patient's question:
I feel like I might have epididymitis. I noticed that the skin of my testicles is particularly red and slightly swollen, and it's also very painful to touch. These symptoms have persisted for a week without any improvement. I'm still young and haven't been married yet, so I'm really scared. Could you please ask: Can a prostatitis abscess be treated?Doctor's answer:
For larger abscesses, surgical treatment can be effective. Methods such as incision and drainage, aspiration, and transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) are also suitable, along with strict antibiotic treatment. It is recommended that you seek effective treatment measures at a regular hospital's urology department or andrology department, tailored to the severity of the disease. Prostate conditions can be stabilized, but the treatment period is generally long, and relapse is common after recovery. Therefore, it is crucial to actively cooperate with the doctor during treatment, use medication appropriately, and avoid prolonged sitting or riding. Additionally, patients should pay attention to personal hygiene. We hope male patients can recover quickly!
