Patient's question:

In January, epididymitis was detected, and I took Cefixime for ten days. Oral Cefixime treatment has been stable. The swelling and hard lumps have improved for over a month, but sometimes after sexual activity or touch, the testicle on one side will experience sharp pain, which subsides the next day. This has happened three or four times. Hello, what is the issue, and how should I resolve it?

Doctor's answer:

It is recommended that you go to the urology department of a regular public hospital for a detailed and thorough examination, including MRI scans of the testicles, spermatic cord, and prostate. It is advised not to exert excessive force during sexual activity and to apply local cold compresses and physical therapy. After the examination and diagnosis, symptomatic treatment should be administered. It is strictly forbidden to consume spicy foods, smoke, or drink alcohol. Epididymitis can be resolved, but the treatment period is generally long, and the condition is prone to recurrence. Therefore, during treatment, medications should be used symptomatically. Additionally, patients should maintain a light diet, avoid stimulating foods, and not smoke or drink beer.
