Patient's question:
At the end of last month, epididymal pain reappeared. After a thorough examination, it was diagnosed as epididymitis. I received intravenous fluids for a week. It didn't improve. But when I touched both testicles, there were hard lumps. They said it's best to take medication and let it heal gradually. I've been taking medication for half a month, but I don't feel much improvement. Is there a better solution?Doctor's answer:
When taking medication, it is recommended to take warm baths daily to promote the dissolution and softening of hard lumps. Additionally, avoid spicy and irritating foods, alcohol, and greasy fried foods in your diet. If you have sexual activity, refrain from intercourse during this period. Pay attention to local hygiene. For patients with epididymitis, timely treatment can reduce the risk of recurrence. If left untreated, it may affect your overall health. Therefore, patients should seek timely symptomatic treatment and pay more attention to self-care in daily life to avoid spicy foods.
