Patient's question:
Narrative: It has been more than ten days since I had an orchiectomy for an epididymal cyst, and my testicle is still swollen. The doctor said there might be some infection. Can it be cured?Doctor's answer:
The treatment for epididymitis involves the use of medication, such as antibiotics and blood-activating drugs. These methods have significant drawbacks. Antibiotics and blood-activating drugs only provide temporary relief from pain. They treat the symptoms but not the root cause. The effects are not long-lasting. Moreover, long-term use can suppress and heal the condition quickly. For patients with epididymal cysts, timely treatment can reduce the likelihood of recurrence. If left untreated, it can affect overall health. Therefore, patients should seek timely and symptomatic treatment. Additionally, maintaining a regular lifestyle in daily life and avoiding prolonged sitting are important preventive measures.
