Patient's question:
On January 25th, I roughly felt abdominal pain but didn't pay much attention. A few days later, a lump was found at the lower end of the epididymis. It wasn't until February 8th that I went to the hospital for a thorough examination. After taking antibiotics for three days, there was no effect. Today, I had another thorough examination, and the doctor prescribed medication. The doctor said it could be semen retention, which might lead to infertility. Is the condition serious?Doctor's answer:
The consideration is that the epididymitis is caused. Currently, I recommend that you first cooperate with the hospital doctors to provide current treatment, and then undergo a re-examination to see the subsequent complete recovery situation. For patients with epididymitis, timely treatment can reduce the incidence of the disease, whereas delayed treatment can affect health conditions. Therefore, patients should seek timely symptomatic treatment and, in daily life, avoid overexertion and pay attention to personal hygiene.
