Patient's question:
Expert, I'd like to understand the disease called epididymitis. What are the hazards of epididymitis? I was recently diagnosed with epididymitis, and I'm very upset and worried about my health, so I'd like to consult you and hope to get your reply. Thank youDoctor's answer:
Orchitis is a common urological condition. However, if not treated promptly and appropriately, it can interfere with sexual function and fertility. Patients with orchitis should rest appropriately and be given antibiotics and general analgesics. Local measures such as cold compresses, physical therapy, and the use of scrotal supports can be effective. If an abscess forms, it may require drainage through incision. For patients with orchitis, timely treatment can reduce the risk of complications. If not treated promptly, it can affect fertility. Therefore, patients should seek timely medical treatment and avoid overexertion in daily life, while also paying attention to personal hygiene.
