Patient's question:
What are the common symptoms of epididymitis? My friend has this disease, and I'm very worried about getting epididymitis myself, so I'd like to understand what the symptoms of epididymitis are first. Could you please demonstrate for me? Is it curable?Doctor's answer:
Epididymitis can be divided into acute epididymitis and chronic epididymitis. Acute epididymitis occurs suddenly. There is swelling and pain in the scrotum, which radiates to the groin and lower abdomen. The pain is relieved when standing. It is often accompanied by high fever. When the inflammation is severe, the scrotal skin swells, turns red, and may form an abscess. Epididymitis can be resolved, but the treatment period is usually long, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor's medication plan. Additionally, patients should avoid prolonged sitting or riding and pay close attention to personal hygiene.
