Patient's question:
Last Thursday, after ejaculation, there was swelling and pain in the left testicle. The symptoms disappeared by the third day. On Tuesday this week, I went to the hospital for a thorough examination. I had a superficial scrotal ultrasound done. Can an increased echo in the head of the left epididymis indicate epididymitis? What does "" mean in the right testicle?Doctor's answer:
After ejaculation, if the pain reappears, this suggests inflammation. It is important to rest more, avoid prolonged sitting, and not engage in frequent sexual activity. Additionally, pay attention to drinking more water. Currently, it is necessary to suppress sexual desires to prevent frequent ejaculation and frequent erections. For patients with swollen testicles, timely treatment can reduce the risk of complications. If left untreated, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should take medication promptly according to their symptoms and pay more attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods.
