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 told me I have epididymitis. What should I do about this condition?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended to visit the urology department of a hospital for a thorough examination. A testicular color Doppler ultrasound can provide a definitive diagnosis. Use sensitive antibiotics. Coordinate with warm water sitz baths, temporarily avoid spicy and irritating foods, quit smoking and drinking alcohol, and prevent unsafe sex. Epididymitis can be relieved, but the treatment period is usually long, and the condition is prone to recur after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, medication should be used according to symptoms. Additionally, it is advisable to maintain a healthy lifestyle and proper diet during treatment. We hope that male patients can recover quickly!
