? Epididymitis has healed, is there a lump, is it a hard knot?

Patient's question:

After the orchitis healed, after one session of cold compress, I noticed that besides the small lump shown in the picture, the orchitis hasn't fully recovered? Or is this an orchitis nodule?

Doctor's answer:

There needs to be implementation of anti-infection treatment, while also implementing local oral treatment because it did not fully heal at once. This has led to recurrent chronic infections causing epididymitis. It is recommended to check the sperm routine. If the sperm routine is normal, it proves that there is no impact on fertility. For patients with epididymitis, timely treatment can reduce the incidence. If treatment is not timely, it will affect fertility. Therefore, patients should take medication promptly and maintain a regular lifestyle in daily life to prevent prolonged sitting.
