Patient's question:
There is a hard lump and pain below the testicle on one side for 2 days. Ultrasound has been diagnosed as epididymitis. There is no history of this condition before. Hello, how is this condition requiring hospital treatment?Doctor's answer:
For right testicular pain, if it is not accompanied by redness and swelling, this situation may indicate acute right epididymitis. In such cases, timely intravenous treatment with cephalosporin antibiotics is necessary. If the patient is allergic to cephalosporins, a new medication should be prescribed to ensure timely treatment and prevent interference with fertility. For testicular patients, prompt treatment can reduce the risk of complications. If left untreated, it may affect overall health. Therefore, patients should seek timely symptomatic treatment and pay close attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods.
