Patient's question:
For a while now, my testicles have been slightly swollen and aching. Recently, they've started to hurt more, especially when touched, and it feels particularly intense. It seems like the other side is also somewhat swollen. I'm very worried. Could you please tell me where it's best to see a doctor for epididymitis?Doctor's answer:
You should first treat epididymitis, as impotence and premature ejaculation may be related to this condition. It is recommended to use traditional Chinese medicine for treatment. You can use Bupleurum, Radix Paeoniae Rubra, Fructus Meliae, Coptis Rhizoma, Prunus Chebula, Pericarpium Citri Grandis, Alisma, Artemisia Scoparia, Gentiana Scabra, and Plantago Seed, decocted in water and taken orally. Persistence in taking the medicine will help alleviate the symptoms of epididymitis. If local pain is significant, you can combine it with cold compress treatment. Epididymitis tends to recur, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is important to seek professional and regular medical examination and consider treatment based on detailed test results. Additionally, pay attention to a proper diet, avoid sexual activity, and finally, wish all patients a speedy recovery.
