Patient's question:
I have had benign prostatic hyperplasia for over ten years. On January 10th of this year, I suddenly experienced pain in the right (one side) vas deferens, followed by swelling and pain in the epididymis and testicles. After more than three months of outpatient antibiotic treatment, the swelling and pain have reduced significantly, but they haven't completely disappeared. The semen I ejaculate is dark red liquid—it contains blood. How should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
Here is the English translation of the provided text:"Go to the hospital for a detailed urological ultrasound examination, which may be a case of orchitis with epididymitis. Follow a regular course of antibiotic treatment, rest more in bed, and elevate the scrotum to improve blood flow to the area. Apply a warm towel compress, or you can also seek physical therapy at the hospital. Eat a light and easily digestible diet. For patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia, timely treatment can reduce the risk of complications. If left untreated, it may affect overall health."
