Patient's question:
Expert, I'd like to ask if epididymitis can be checked by oneself? I've been feeling discomfort in my testicles recently, but I don't know if it's epididymitis. Can you check it carefully?Doctor's answer:
Symptoms of Epididymitis: The onset is sudden. High fever. Leukopenia. Swelling and pain in the affected scrotum. A heavy sensation. Radiating pain in the lower abdomen and groin area. The pain intensifies during standing or walking. The affected epididymis becomes swollen and exhibits significant tenderness. When the inflammation is extensive, both the epididymis and testis become swollen, and their boundaries become indistinct, which is referred to as Epididymo-orchitis. The spermatic cord on the affected side becomes thickened and also exhibits tenderness. It is recommended that you visit a hospital for a thorough testicular ultrasound examination. The examination and diagnosis will help clarify the cause.
