Patient's question:
The head of the epididymis has been enlarged and there is mild pain. The hospital performed an ultrasound and said that the enlargement of the head of the epididymis is nothing to worry about. They mentioned that taking medication doesn't help, but there is still some pain. Will it recover on its own? What could have caused it? Will it lead to other diseases in the future? I'm a bit worried. What kind of medication can I take?Doctor's answer:
This situation is generally caused by a long-standing habit of sitting for extended periods, frequent sexual intercourse, or frequent sexual activity leading to local inflammation and edema. If this condition reoccurs, it is important to pay attention to rest and avoid prolonged sitting, engage in more activity after sitting, abstain from sexual intercourse, and control sexual activity. Oral administration of Sanjin tablets and levofloxacin tablets can help restore normalcy. The epididymis can be stabilized, but the treatment period is usually long, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is crucial to actively cooperate with the doctor's medication plan during treatment. Additionally, patients should avoid prolonged sitting or riding and pay close attention to personal hygiene.
