Patient's question:
I have a dull pain in my lower abdomen, especially when I press with my hand, the pain is quite noticeable. I suspect I might have epididymitis. Now I'm constantly worried and I'm really feeling so sad. How should I treat epididymitis?Doctor's answer:
Mainly manifested as testicular swelling, pain, and nodules. Midstream urine culture may show pathogenic bacteria. Ultrasound examination reveals a reduction in the affected epididymis, with irregular boundaries. Treatment requires adequate rest. When chronic epididymitis recurs acutely, antibiotics should be used promptly. If it recurs frequently, the epididymis may be removed. For patients with orchitis, timely treatment can reduce the incidence. If not treated promptly, it may affect overall health. Therefore, patients should take timely symptomatic treatment and avoid overexertion in daily life, while paying attention to personal hygiene.
