Hello doctor, I have testicular pain and a sensation of heaviness. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, they told me I have epididymitis. How can epididymitis be treated most effectively?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, it is recommended that you go to the hospital for a follow-up visit and receive treatment as prescribed by your doctor. Pay attention to resting in bed, elevating the scrotum, applying local cold compresses, eating light food, and avoiding smoking and alcohol. For patients with epididymitis, timely treatment can reduce the risk of recurrence. If left untreated, it may affect your overall health. Therefore, patients should receive timely medication and take care to avoid overexertion in daily life while paying attention to personal hygiene. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
