What should be paid attention to after undergoing an epididymitis surgery?

Patient's question:

Right testicle has been aching and swollen recently, occasionally accompanied by a sensation of heaviness. What should I pay attention to after undergoing an epididymitis surgery?

Doctor's answer:

After the diagnosis of epididymitis, timely anti-inflammatory treatment should be administered. The course of the disease is generally around 10 days, during which a follow-up scrotal color Doppler ultrasound is necessary to monitor changes in epididymal blood flow signals. There are generally no strict specifications for the dosage of levofloxacin; the specific dosage needs to be estimated based on body weight. For patients with epididymitis, timely treatment can reduce the risk of recurrence. If treatment is delayed, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should receive timely medication and maintain regular sexual activity in daily life while avoiding prolonged sitting. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
