Patient's question:
I feel like I might have epididymitis. I noticed that the skin of my testicles is particularly red and slightly swollen. It also hurts when I touch it. These symptoms have persisted for a week without any improvement. I'm still young and haven't even been married yet. I'm really scared. What should I do if I have a prostatitis abscess?Doctor's answer:
Please go to a regular hospital's urology department to have a routine test for prostatic fluid first to confirm if there is significant prostatitis. If the inflammation is significant, it can be inferred that your current symptoms are caused by inflammation. In that case, treating the prostatitis should be sufficient. Small cysts can be temporarily left alone, but it is necessary to follow up with regular ultrasound examinations (every 3-6 months) to monitor their changes. If the inflammation is not significant or the anti-inflammatory treatment is not effective, then consider that the frequent urination symptoms are indeed caused by the cysts. In that case, treatments targeting the cysts can be used. There are many treatment methods available for this currently.
