Patient's question:
I got epididymitis about four or five days ago. Today, when I was going to school, I felt discomfort on my right thigh (the epididymitis is also on the right side), as if something was blocking it. I feel weak. Can it be cured?Doctor's answer:
If an abscess forms, drainage and incision are necessary. The condition may be caused by a urinary catheter during detention. In such cases, the catheter should be removed. Additionally, during the acute phase, sexual impulses and heavy physical exertion should be avoided to prevent the spread of infection and exacerbation of symptoms. For a small number of stubborn patients with poor disease control, orchidectomy (including the removal of the testes) may be performed. Epididymitis tends to recur, requiring long-term medication. Male patients should actively seek professional and reputable medical treatment, and treatment should be considered based on examination results. Proper diet and abstinence from sexual activity are also important.
