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 I treat epididymitis?Doctor's answer:
Generally, resting in bed can help alleviate symptoms, and the use of scrotal supports can provide relief. Specialized scrotal supports with cotton padding are more comfortable for extended use. For severe pain, pain medication can be used. Local heat therapy can also relieve symptoms and promote inflammation reduction. For patients with epididymitis, timely treatment can reduce the likelihood of recurrence. If left untreated, it may affect overall health. Therefore, patients should seek appropriate treatment promptly and pay close attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
