Patient's question:
Expert, I recently noticed that my epididymis is a bit swollen. I can feel a lump on the right side, but it's not hard. Now it's starting to hurt and cause lower back pain. Is this serious? I've taken Cephalexin for inflammation, and it has reduced the pain a bit, but I can still feel some swelling in the epididymis. What could be the reason for the swelling in my epididymis recently?Doctor's answer:
Your condition is epididymitis. I don't know how long you have been taking medication. It is recommended to actively implement anti-inflammatory treatment and intravenous antibiotic therapy.
