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. How should epididymitis be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
Treating Epididymitis, Chronic epididymitis can be caused by acute epididymitis that does not heal properly, but most patients do not have a history of acute recurrence. The clinical manifestations of this disease vary greatly, and patients may experience local discomfort, a heavy or distended sensation, or scrotal pain, which can also radiate to the lower abdomen and the inner side of the same thigh. Sometimes, acute recurrence symptoms may occur. It can recur on one side or both sides, and can manifest as symptoms ranging from mild, intermittent discomfort to severe, persistent pain. For patients with epididymitis, timely treatment can reduce the likelihood of recurrence. If left untreated, it can affect fertility. Therefore, patients should take medication promptly and pay close attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
