Patient's question:
My testicles have been hurting for a long time. I went to the hospital for an ultrasound, and the testicles were said to be fine, but the pain persists. Later, I went to the city hospital, and the doctor examined it and said it was epididymitis. Is epididymitis easy to treat?Doctor's answer:
Epididymitis is a common disease among young and middle-aged adults. When the body's resistance is weakened, pathogenic bacteria such as E. coli, staphylococcus, and streptococcus can enter the vas deferens and reverse their way into the epididymis, causing inflammation. Epididymitis is not difficult to treat, but it requires timely treatment, the use of antibacterial drugs that are sensitive to bacteria, and symptomatic anti-inflammatory and blood-activating measures. If it is severe, surgical drainage of the epididymis or epididymectomy may be necessary. Epididymitis can be cured, but the treatment process is generally slow, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, active cooperation with the doctor and appropriate medication are essential during the treatment.
