Patient's question:
Epididymitis, swelling below the testicles, swelling developed two weeks after perianal abscess surgery, received ceftriaxone intravenously for two weeks. Now the inflammation is the size of pigeon eggs, besides Sitz baths, what other good methods are there?Doctor's answer:
The testicle you mentioned, if it is swollen and painful, is likely caused by a local infection spreading from an anal abscess. In the case of swelling, in addition to sitz baths, you will also need to take oral anti-inflammatory medications. At the same time, for the pain, using blood-activating and blood-stasis-resolving herbs can be more effective. For patients with epididymitis, timely treatment can reduce the risk of recurrence. If left untreated, it can affect overall health. Therefore, patients should take medication according to their symptoms and maintain regular sexual activity in daily life to avoid prolonged sitting.
