Patient's question:
There is a in the testicular area with lumps. After a thorough ultrasound examination at the hospital, it was diagnosed as epididymitis. The doctor prescribed anti-inflammatory medication to be taken for half a month. Approximately a year later, the condition recurred. This time, taking almost the same amount of medication has not shown improvement. How to treat epididymitisDoctor's answer:
Testicular inflammation is usually caused by bacteria and viruses. The general symptoms include testicular pain that radiates to the groin, a noticeable heavy sensation, accompanied by high fever, nausea, vomiting, and leukopenia. At the same time, the testicles become significantly swollen and tender, and the scrotal skin becomes red and swollen. Treatment typically involves broad-spectrum antibiotics such as azithromycin, bed rest, elevating the scrotum, local cold compresses, physical therapy, and 1% lidocaine spermatic cord block anesthesia to reduce pain. If an abscess forms, it should be drained through incision. It is important to pay attention to personal hygiene.
