Patient's question:
On January 21, I noticed a pressure pain in the left testicle and a lump. Touching the lump caused pain. On the 23rd, I went to the regional Changsha 163 Hospital for treatment. The doctor diagnosed it as epididymitis. How should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
Generally, you can first try physical therapy, such as supporting the scrotum, local cold compresses, hot Sitz baths, and physiotherapy, or directly use Tuo Mai Lin to alleviate symptoms. If medication is used for treatment, compounds like Trimethoprim/Sulfamethoxazole, Ciprofloxacin, and Levofloxacin are often effective. Wishing you a speedy recovery! For patients with epididymitis, timely treatment can reduce the incidence, whereas delayed treatment can affect overall health. Therefore, patients should take medication promptly and maintain a regular lifestyle in daily life to avoid prolonged sitting.
