Patient's question:
Hello doctor, I had a lump on my testicle a few weeks ago. The hospital did a thorough examination and said it was an epididymal cyst, with hydrocele as well. The fluid has been drained, but the lump is still there. Except for chronic prostatitis, do you think I need treatment for this?Doctor's answer:
In this case, you can try resting and taking penicillin or cephalexin orally. You can also apply a warm towel for cold compress, avoid strenuous exercise, and minimize the intake of spicy and irritating foods. Smoking and drinking beer should be avoided as much as possible. It usually takes about a week for the condition to gradually improve. Testicular conditions are prone to recurrence, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is essential to seek immediate medical attention at a professional and reputable hospital. Treatment should be considered based on the examination results.
