Patient's question:
Hello doctor, I have testicular pain and a feeling 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, accompanied by high fever and a decrease in white blood cells. The affected side of the scrotum will feel swollen and painful, with a heavy sensation, while there may be referred pain in the lower abdomen and groin. The pain will intensify 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, it is advisable to maintain a healthy lifestyle and follow a proper diet. We hope that male patients can recover quickly!
