What are the common symptoms of acute epididymitis?

Doctor's answer:

Based on the situation you described, it is possible that you may have epididymitis or varicocele. If it is epididymitis, there may be symptoms of redness, swelling, and pain. With varicocele, you can feel the dilated blood vessels. It is recommended to undergo a color Doppler ultrasound examination for a clear and definitive diagnosis. Male reproductive diseases can be cured, but the treatment process is generally slow, and there is a high risk of recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is crucial to actively cooperate with your doctor's treatment, take medication appropriately, and also adopt a healthy lifestyle and diet during the treatment period. We hope that male patients can recover as soon as possible!
