Patient's question:
My father has undergone a prostatectomy for more than three and a half months. He has started experiencing swelling in both testicles. After receiving anti-inflammatory injections, the condition improved significantly. However, the prostate still causes a heavy, aching pain, and the vas deferens is blocked, with severe pain in the seminal vesicles. No medication seems to be effective. How should this be treated?Doctor's answer:
If you have benign prostatic hyperplasia, after undergoing transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP), a small number of people may develop epididymitis. If there is scrotal swelling and pain, it is generally treatable with medications such as bed rest, anti-inflammatory drugs, blood-activating herbs, and symptomatic treatment. Prostate conditions can be prone to recurrence, requiring long-term medication. Additionally, male patients should seek immediate medical attention at a professional and reputable hospital for diagnosis. Treatment should be considered based on thorough examination results. It is also important to control sexual activity and maintain a positive mood.
