Patient's question:
I had epididymitis and left behind a nodule with a diameter of 1 centimeter. A few days ago, I noticed that this nodule suddenly increased in size, and now it has a diameter of 2 centimeters. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Considering the high possibility of an epididymal cyst, it cannot be ruled out that it may be epididymitis. You can go to the urology department of a regular public hospital for a follow-up visit to confirm the diagnosis. It is a common disease, and paying attention to daily conditioning is the key. Drink more water, urinate frequently, get adequate rest, engage in appropriate activities, avoid getting cold, do not sit for long periods, do not ride bicycles, do not hold back urine, avoid excessive sexual activity and intercourse, eat less spicy and irritating foods, and reduce smoking and alcohol consumption. For patients with epididymitis, timely treatment can reduce the likelihood of recurrence. If it is not treated in a timely manner, it will affect your health. Therefore, patients should take oral medication promptly.
