Patient's question:
Male, 22, with a small, painful, floating lump behind the testicles, causing perineal swelling and low spirits. Previous treatment: The hospital diagnosed it as epididymitis, but some symptoms remain. What kind of help do you want: How to treat it completely? Will it affect fertility?Doctor's answer:
Treatment of epididymitis requires at least two to three weeks. Note: Acute epididymitis is often characterized by swelling of the epididymis, pain, and sometimes accompanied by fever. The treatment period generally lasts two to three weeks. When symptoms are more pronounced, intravenous medication can be administered first to relieve symptoms, followed by a switch to oral medication with a clear course. You can choose levofloxacin because after epididymitis heals, it often leaves behind inflammatory hardening. You can also take oral anti-inflammatory and wind-dispelling herbs, which is a Chinese herbal medicine for reducing swelling and resolving masses. Timely and thorough treatment will not interfere with fertility.
