Patient's question:
Hello, I have testicular pain and a sensation of heaviness. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, the doctor said I have epididymitis. What are the treatments for epididymitis?Doctor's answer:
The patient should rest in bed. Using a scrotal support or a homemade soft pad to lift the scrotum can alleviate symptoms. For severe pain, pain relievers can be used. Local heat therapy can relieve symptoms and promote inflammation resolution. Early use of ice packs for local cold compressions is suitable. Sexual activity and physical labor can worsen the infection, so they should be avoided. If the condition is not controlled, seek medical attention at a formal hospital promptly. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery!
