Patient's question:
Unilateral epididymal enlargement, without pain. It felt normal when going to bed in the morning, but it felt larger during the day. I had epididymitis before due to mumps. Recently, I've been having stomach issues from drinking beer for late-night snacks, which made me realize the epididymis has enlarged again. What could be the reason?Doctor's answer:
According to the description, this is usually caused by testicular inflammation. If it occurs repeatedly, it is recommended to go to the hospital for a check-up. Additionally, an ultrasound is needed for a clearer diagnosis. The condition of the epididymis tends to recur, requiring long-term medication treatment. For male patients, it is important to seek medical attention at a professional and reputable hospital, and treatment should be considered based on the examination results. Also, pay attention to a proper diet and avoid sexual activity.
