Patient's question:
Previously, I had epididymitis. After going to the hospital for medication, a follow-up ultrasound showed that it was fine, but I still feel pain between the testicles and the inner thigh. What could be the reason for this?Doctor's answer:
Epididymitis is a common disease among young and middle-aged adults. Whenever the body's resistance weakens, pathogenic bacteria such as E. coli, Staphylococcus, and Streptococcus take the opportunity to enter the vas deferens and infiltrate the epididymis, causing inflammation. There are several transmission routes for epididymitis, and it can be secondary to conditions like urethritis or prostatitis. During treatment, it is essential to conduct a comprehensive evaluation and treat other affected areas simultaneously. Only in this way can the treatment be thorough. Epididymitis tends to recur easily, requiring long-term medication.
