Patient's question:
Hello doctor, I have testicular pain and a sensation of heaviness. The hospital examination said I have epididymitis. What are the causes of epididymitis?Doctor's answer:
Epididymitis is a common disease. Generally, patients will experience lumps again at the head or tail of the epididymis, with more cases occurring at the tail. If not treated promptly, it may lead to complications such as seminal vesiculitis and other inflammatory conditions. Most cases develop suddenly, with symptoms including high fever, leukopenia, swelling and pain in the affected scrotum, a heavy sensation, and referred pain in the lower abdomen and inguinal region. The pain may worsen during standing or walking.It is recommended that you seek professional medical attention for examination and treatment. Epididymitis can be stabilized, but the treatment period is usually long, and relapse is common after recovery. Therefore, it is crucial to actively cooperate with your doctor's medication plan during treatment. Additionally, maintaining a healthy lifestyle and proper diet is advised. We hope male patients can recover quickly!
