Patient's question:
Half a month ago, I was diagnosed with epididymitis and hydrocele, and was immediately hospitalized for a week of intravenous treatment. Now the redness and swelling have subsided, but there is still some pain when the testicle is pressed. Did it flare up again or is it not fully healed? The doctor said it would be about half a month before it healed, but now it has been half a month, and there is still some pain when the testicle is pressed. The head of the epididymis seems a bit different. What's going on? How should I take medication?Doctor's answer:
According to your situation, it should not be fully healed yet. The doctor said it will take about half a month to recover, but that's just an estimate. Rest more, and as long as the symptoms are gradually improving, there's no need to worry. If you're still not reassured, you can also go to the hospital for a follow-up check-up. For patients with epididymitis, timely treatment can reduce the likelihood of recurrence. If it's not treated promptly, it can affect your overall health. Therefore, patients should take medication according to their symptoms and pay more attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
