What are the symptoms of epididymitis?

Patient's question:

Hello, I have testicular pain 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 secondary neuron orchitis, 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, and persistent in nature. 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 usually long, and it is prone to relapse after treatment. Therefore, medications should be used symptomatically during treatment. Additionally, it is recommended to adopt a healthy lifestyle and maintain a proper diet during the treatment period. We hope that male patients can recover as soon as possible!
