Patient's question:
Epididymitis, it has been three weeks already. We have started intravenous antibiotics treatment for a week, and the redness and swelling have subsided. Now the testicle still hurts a bit, and the epididymis seems a bit enlarged. Is it turning into chronic epididymitis?Doctor's answer:
What you mentioned is orchitis, which requires gradual improvement through warm water sitz baths for treatment. Enhance nutrition, pay attention not to drink beer or eat spicy foods, and avoid pushing or squeezing the testicles. Increase walking and activity. For patients with epididymitis, timely treatment can reduce the incidence. If not treated in a timely manner, it may affect health conditions. Therefore, patients should receive timely medication treatment and avoid overexertion in daily life, paying attention to personal hygiene.
