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 and wonder if it can 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 exercise should be avoided to prevent the spread of infection and alleviate symptoms. For a very 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. Furthermore, male patients should actively seek diagnosis from professional and reputable hospitals. Treatment should be considered based on examination results, and proper diet and abstinence from sexual activity should be maintained.
