Patient's question:
For a while now, my testicles have been slightly swollen and aching. Recently, they've started to hurt, especially when touched, and the other side seems to be swollen as well. I'm very worried. Could you please advise on the best treatment for epididymitis?Doctor's answer:
The situation you mentioned is relatively simple. Based on the description, it is basically confirmed to be epididymitis with mild symptoms. For this condition, it is recommended to focus on local symptomatic treatment while carefully monitoring any changes in the condition. Currently, medication treatment is not advised. For patients with epididymitis, timely treatment can reduce the risk of recurrence. If left untreated, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should receive timely medication treatment and maintain regular sexual activity in daily life, avoiding prolonged sitting. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
