Patient's question:
Yesterday I only learned about acute epididymitis. I want to know what to do if testicular swelling and pain are chronic epididymitis.Doctor's answer:
In such cases, it is not advisable to take medication indiscriminately. It is necessary to have a confirmed diagnosis before taking an adequate dose of medication. In your situation, it is not appropriate to take antibiotics without proper diagnosis, as this may lead to drug resistance. It is possible that your condition is caused by varicocele. It is recommended to seek follow-up treatment promptly. For patients with epididymitis, timely treatment can reduce the likelihood of recurrence. If left untreated, it may affect your overall health. Therefore, patients should receive timely medication and maintain regular sexual activity in daily life to prevent prolonged sitting.
