Patient's question:
Continuing treatment without effect, and also taking traditional Chinese medicine without any visible improvement. What should I do about the hard lumps in my testicles?Doctor's answer:
Consider epididymitis. Epididymitis is more common in middle-aged and young adults. Treatment should be based on anti-infection therapy, with supportive measures such as promoting blood circulation, encouraging bed rest, and using scrotal supports to alleviate symptoms. Early treatment should involve local cold compresses with ice packs, and sexual activity should be avoided. It is recommended that you visit the urology department of a hospital for a thorough examination and treatment. The testicles can improve, but the treatment period is generally long, and relapse is common after recovery. Therefore, medications must be used symptomatically during treatment. Additionally, patients should avoid prolonged sitting or riding and pay close attention to personal hygiene.
