Patient's question:
I feel like I might have acute epididymitis. I noticed that the skin of my testicles is particularly red and seems a bit 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. Could you please tell me what methods are used to treat epididymitis?Doctor's answer:
Based on your description, this situation is mostly a symptom of epididymitis. It is recommended to go to the hospital as soon as possible for a thorough examination and ultrasound to confirm the diagnosis, followed by symptomatic treatment. Antibiotics can be used, and it is advisable to drink more water, avoid alcohol and spicy foods. Wishing you good health and happiness! Epididymitis tends to recur, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is important to seek treatment from professional and reputable hospitals in a timely manner, and treatment should be considered based on the examination results. Additionally, it is necessary to quit smoking and drinking, pay attention to personal hygiene, and finally, wish all patients a speedy recovery.
