Patient's question:
Right testicle has been aching and swollen recently, occasionally with a sensation of heaviness. How can one determine if it's epididymitis?Doctor's answer:
I have reviewed your question. Epididymitis is relatively common. You can touch the upper part of the testicle, and medical professionals can touch the epididymis. You can go to the hospital for a check-up, as it may be difficult for you to self-diagnose. You can also have a color Doppler ultrasound to diagnose it. I hope my explanation is helpful to you. Epididymitis can be stabilized, but the treatment duration is usually long, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, medication must be used according to symptoms. Additionally, patients should avoid sitting or riding for long periods and pay attention to personal hygiene. I hope male patients can recover quickly!
