Patient's question:
Appendicitis has been improving for more than ten days, but I still feel a bit uncomfortable, especially when sitting down. I have gone to the hospital for follow-up checks twice, and the doctors said everything is fine, mentioning that my spermatic cord is slightly swollen. Normally, when the weather is cold, the symptoms of testicular constriction and discomfort have almost disappeared. However, after taking a shower and when the scrotum is relaxed, I notice that the left testicle is much larger. On top of the testicle, there are clumps of something. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended to pay attention to local cold compresses to reduce swelling, and undergo a follow-up check at a local regular urology department. It is advised to avoid spicy and stimulating foods, maintain a light and regular diet, and rest to prevent frequent sexual activity. A follow-up check at a local regular general hospital urology department and local cold compresses to enhance swelling reduction are recommended. Epididymitis tends to recur, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is important to actively seek treatment at professional and regular hospitals based on examination results for consideration of treatment.
