I had epididymitis before, the treatment didn't help and it still hurts, what should I do?

Patient's question:

I used to have epididymitis, which has been cured. However, now that I haven't had sex for a long time, there's some swelling and pain in the epididymis. What's going on?

Doctor's answer:

Recurrent local discomfort may indicate the possibility of epididymitis or orchitis. It is recommended that you make time to visit the urology department for a check-up to confirm the diagnosis and then receive targeted treatment. Epididymitis can be cured, but the treatment period is usually long, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is crucial to actively cooperate with the doctor's medication plan during treatment. Additionally, patients should maintain a light diet, avoid stimulating foods, and not smoke or drink beer.
