Patient's question:
The current symptoms are swollen testicles with pain, making it difficult to walk. Currently, I am lying at home. Previous tests indicated epididymitis. Is the scrotal swelling and pain a symptom of epididymitis?Doctor's answer:
The clinical manifestations of this disease vary greatly. Patients may experience local discomfort, a sense of fullness or heaviness, or scrotal pain, which can also radiate to the lower abdomen and the inner side of the same thigh. At times, acute recurrent symptoms may occur. It can recur on one or both sides and may manifest as symptoms ranging from mild, intermittent discomfort to severe, persistent pain. Epididymitis can be relieved, but the treatment process is generally slow, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, medication should be used symptomatically during treatment. Additionally, patients should maintain a light diet, avoid foods, and not smoke or drink beer. We hope that male patients can recover quickly!
