Patient's question:
Hello, I have pain in my testicles and a feeling of heaviness. The doctor said I have epididymitis. What are the symptoms of epididymitis?Doctor's answer:
Epididymitis is more common in young and middle-aged adults, and it is often transmitted through the spread of prostatitis and seminal vesiculitis along the vas deferens to the epididymis. Acute epididymitis occurs suddenly, accompanied by high fever, swelling and pain in the affected scrotum, a heavy sensation, and referred pain in the lower abdomen and inguinal region, especially when standing or walking. The affected epididymis becomes swollen and tender to touch. When the inflammation is extensive, both the epididymis and the testis may become swollen. Epididymitis can be relieved, but the treatment duration is usually long, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, medication 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 quickly!
