Patient's question:
Hello doctor, I have testicular pain and a feeling of heaviness. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, they said I have epididymitis. Can this condition be cured?Doctor's answer:
Epididymitis can be cured. Sometimes, treatment may take 2-3 months. Since your lump has disappeared and the swelling has subsided, you no longer need antibiotics. Rest more, avoid sitting for too long, and wear slightly tighter underwear to reduce testicular heaviness. Do not drink beer or eat spicy food, exercise, and adopt a healthy lifestyle. You will get better.For patients with epididymitis, timely treatment can reduce the risk of recurrence. If left untreated, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should take medication promptly and pay more attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
