Patient's question:
Doctor, I have had a varicocele surgery for almost a month now. During this period, I have been feeling discomfort in my testicles (not painful, but slightly sore when touched, such as when putting on pants or when the blanket touches it while sleeping). Previously, a urological examination revealed epididymitis. Is this related to the epididymitis?Doctor's answer:
If it's epididymitis, checking the sperm won't reveal it; this requires a color Doppler ultrasound. Besides, where did you have the thorough examination done? Your symptoms don't seem too indicative of epididymitis. It's recommended to first go to a regular public hospital for a color Doppler ultrasound. When patients face male reproductive health issues, we should actively implement thorough examinations and treatments, and avoid avoiding medical visits. If male reproductive health issues are not cured after prolonged treatment, it's important to promptly switch to a new treatment plan.
