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 result of epididymitis?Doctor's answer:
This disease exhibits significant variability in clinical manifestations. Patients may experience local discomfort, a sense of heaviness or fullness, 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 unilaterally or bilaterally and may manifest as symptoms ranging from mild, intermittent discomfort to severe, persistent pain. Epididymitis can be resolved, but the treatment process is generally slow, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, medications must be used symptomatically during treatment. Additionally, patients should maintain a light diet, avoid foods, and refrain from smoking and drinking beer. We hope that male patients can recover as soon as possible!
