Patient's question:
The right testicle is slightly enlarged, and there is a sense of swelling in the afternoon and evening. It hasn't reappeared like the acute phase mentioned online. I've taken two days of Amoxicillin, but it doesn't seem to be working well. I've been busy with final exams recently and feeling stressed, and I've been having stomach issues. Am I suffering from epididymitis?Doctor's answer:
In general, epididymitis is mainly caused by poor hygiene, pathogenic infections, and other factors. It is recommended to go to the hospital for a thorough examination. If diagnosed, treatments such as levofloxacin can be used. The condition of epididymitis tends to recur, requiring long-term oral medication. Additionally, for male patients, it is important to actively seek treatment at professional and reputable hospitals, and treatment should be considered based on the results of careful examinations. Furthermore, it is necessary to restrict sexual activity and maintain a positive mood.
