Patient's question:
I've been feeling uncomfortable for a long time. Could you please tell me what kind of swelling occurs in the testicles after an epididymectomy?Doctor's answer:
This is common in testicular swelling caused by postoperative local circulatory or lymphatic drainage obstruction. Complete recovery typically takes 4-6 weeks. Recommendations:1. Local cold compress therapy
2. Wear supportive underwear (briefs) to hold the scrotum in place
3. Intravenous antibiotics for epididymitis. The condition tends to recur, requiring long-term medication.
For male patients, it is important to actively seek diagnosis at professional and reputable hospitals. Treatment should be considered based on thorough examination results. Additionally, avoid smoking and alcohol consumption, and maintain good personal hygiene.
