Patient's question:
After the orchitis healed, I drank alcohol yesterday. I didn't drink much, just a few bottles of beer. Then at night, the epididymis swelled with pain, and the condition worsened. Do I need to take medication again?Doctor's answer:
Considering the symptoms of orchitis brought on by alcohol consumption, such as mild swelling, pain, and discomfort, it is important to avoid excessive exercise. Based on the situation you described, it is advisable to visit a urology department at the hospital for further examination and consider taking anti-inflammatory and anti-swelling medications. Avoid excessive exercise and alcohol consumption. Epididymitis tends to recur, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is crucial to seek treatment at a professional and reputable hospital promptly. Treatment should be considered based on the examination results.
