Patient's question:
I have a hard lump in my right testicle. After taking anti-inflammatory medication, the lump hasn't completely disappeared. I feel it might be epididymitis, and it has worsened. Fortunately, I started using Chinese herbal medicine for diuretic and anti-inflammatory purposes, and it feels quite good. I want to recover quickly.Doctor's answer:
It could be orchitis and epididymitis. Most of the time, it is chronic inflammation. If the inflammation is not treated thoroughly or if treatment is delayed, it may lead to the formation of a hard lump, resulting in a testicular cyst. In most cases, the problem is not serious and can be treated with medication, such as taking levofloxacin. Chinese herbal medicine, such as Guizhi Fuling Wan, can also be used for regulation. Sometimes it may be accompanied by prostatitis, so it is necessary to go to the hospital for a thorough examination. For patients with epididymitis, timely treatment can reduce the incidence of the disease. If it is not treated in a timely manner, it may affect fertility.
