Patient's question:
Recently, I've been feeling constant pain in my testicles, and this week alone, I've had a fever twice. I usually feel cold, and when I take a bath, I notice that my testicles seem to contain a lot of liquid. Please ask: What is the wise choice of treatment for epididymitis?Doctor's answer:
Epididymitis is common in young and middle-aged men. When the immune system is weakened, bacteria infiltrate the epididymis, causing inflammation, often secondary to posterior urethritis, prostatitis, seminal vesiculitis, and other conditions. Epididymitis requires consultation with a urologist for proper, full-course antibiotic intravenous treatment and bed rest; otherwise, the condition is prone to recurrence. For patients with epididymitis, timely treatment can reduce the risk of complications, while delayed treatment may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should seek timely symptomatic treatment and pay close attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
