Patient's question:
I had an ultrasound examination of the testicular area and found some problems. The doctor said it was epididymitis. I do feel discomfort in the testicular area regularly. What should I do if I have had epididymitis for 40 days?Doctor's answer:
Epididymitis for 40 days, the color Doppler ultrasound examination revealed a lump, but currently there are no discomforts. Generally, after treatment, a lump or nodule may remain, which usually does not disappear and does not require special treatment—no need to worry. Avoid drinking beer and eating spicy foods for patients with epididymitis. Timely treatment can reduce the recurrence of the condition. If left untreated, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should take medication promptly according to their symptoms and avoid overexertion in daily life while paying attention to personal hygiene. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
