Patient's question:
A few days ago, I had a cold, so I thought the fever and chills were caused by the cold. But the fever didn't go down, and after checking at the hospital, the doctor said I had epididymitis. I don't know how I got this disease, but how can epididymitis be treated well and properly?Doctor's answer:
Symptoms of orchitis include testicular swelling, mild pain, and referred pain in the scrotum, groin, and inguinal region. It is often accompanied by redness and swelling of the scrotal skin and hydrocele in the scrotum. The primary treatment involves rest, local cold compresses, and elevating the scrotum to reduce pain. Anti-inflammatory treatments, such as azithromycin, can also be used. For patients with epididymitis, timely treatment can reduce the risk of complications. If left untreated, it may affect overall health. Therefore, patients should take medication promptly and maintain regular sexual activity while avoiding prolonged sitting. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
