Patient's question:
Doctor, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain recently, which hasn't subsided. The examination revealed epididymitis. Could you please tell me what symptoms can recur with 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, which intensifies during standing or walking. It is recommended that you seek professional medical attention for examination and treatment. Epididymitis tends to recur, requiring long-term medication.
