Is there a small lump on the epididymis, and is it chronic epididymitis?

Patient's question:

Four months ago, my testicle had a dull ache for a week due to external force. After the pain subsided, I could feel a small lump on my epididymis, which wasn't painful but could be moved when touched. Hello, could it be inflammation caused by external force? But I feel like there's nothing major wrong with me. Is it chronic epididymitis?

Doctor's answer:

You are currently mainly experiencing epididymal pain and discomfort due to trauma about a week ago, and there is a small lump that you would like to understand the situation a bit. Based on your description and symptoms, your current condition should be the symptoms of epididymitis. However, it is recommended that you go to the hospital for a scrotal ultrasound to check it. It should gradually improve. Epididymitis can be cured, but the treatment period is generally long, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor's medication plan. Additionally, patients should maintain a light diet and avoid foods.
