Patient's question:
A red bump has grown on the scrotum, it's itchy, and there are some small broken areas. Squeezing it will cause thick discharge. Some say it might be epididymitis. Is it serious?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended to wash thoroughly with lukewarm water, rinse with physiological saline for a few seconds, apply erythromycin ointment or Daktar cream locally, and avoid pulling. Do not consume spicy or irritating foods, and avoid smoking and alcohol. Wear comfortable and breathable underwear, and always keep the local skin clean, dry, and breathable. For patients with testicular conditions, timely treatment can reduce the incidence. If left untreated, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should seek timely symptomatic treatment and avoid overexertion in daily life, paying attention to personal hygiene.
