Patient's question:
Hello, I have pain in my testicles and a sensation of heaviness. The doctor said I have epididymitis. What are the symptoms of epididymitis?Doctor's answer:
There are many causes of orchitis, such as patients with mumps, who can develop orchitis of the second-order neurons, leading to recurring testicular pain and swelling. Gonorrhea is currently the most prevalent sexually transmitted disease. In severe cases, it can cause orchitis, presenting with testicular pain and swelling. Chronic prostatitis can also cause testicular pain, characterized by unilateral pain, mostly dull or pulling pain, which is persistent. Microscopic examination of prostatic fluid reveals a large number of white blood cells. The patients are mostly young and middle-aged adults, with the elderly being less affected. Epididymitis can be resolved, but the treatment period is generally long, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, medications must be used according to symptoms. Additionally, during the treatment period, it is recommended to adopt a healthy lifestyle and maintain a proper diet. We hope that male patients can recover as soon as possible!
