Patient's question:
Hello doctor, I have testicular pain and a sensation of heaviness. The hospital examination said I have epididymitis. How do I treat this condition?Doctor's answer:
The reasons for this phenomenon are multifaceted, such as prolonged sitting, overexertion, and neglecting personal hygiene, among others. It is recommended that you pay attention to rest, avoid prolonged sitting and overexertion, while also maintaining good personal hygiene, such as changing underwear frequently, taking baths often, drinking more water, and undergoing intravenous fluid treatment for inflammation. The lump does not need to be a concern; as epididymitis tends to recur after the inflammation subsides, long-term medication may be necessary. Additionally, male patients should seek professional and reputable medical attention promptly, and treatment should be considered based on the results of thorough examinations. Furthermore, it is important to quit smoking and drinking, maintain personal hygiene, and finally, wish all patients a speedy recovery.
