Patient's question:
Left testicle has a sense of fullness and pain. After drinking water, there is a frequent need to urinate for a short time. 5 days ago, I went to the urology department of the hospital to see a doctor. At the same time, blood tests and a detailed examination of the reproductive organs were conducted. It was said that there was a deformity of the epididymis. How should patients with epididymal deformity be treated?Doctor's answer:
To prevent the occurrence of non-healing epididymal deformities, both acute and chronic epididymal deformities should be treated. Therefore, it is essential to:Use appropriate antimicrobial drugs. For acute epididymal deformities, treatment should continue until symptoms completely disappear, followed by additional medication for 4–5 days. For chronic epididymitis, medication should be taken for 2–3 weeks to ensure sustained efficacy.
Regular cold compresses should be applied to the scrotum. Individuals who stand or walk excessively are advised to wear a cloth scrotal support.
The purpose of wearing a scrotal support is to stabilize blood circulation in the epididymis, aiding in the resolution of inflammation.
