Patient's question:
I don't know what's wrong, my friend's scrotum is swollen and painful. He said it might be epididymitis. How do you check for epididymitis?Doctor's answer:
Epididymitis is a common disease among young people. When the body's resistance is low, many pathogenic bacteria take this opportunity to enter the vas deferens and infiltrate the epididymis, causing inflammation. If the patient returns to sperm production within 24 hours after a recurrence of the disease, the fertilization above the testicles can completely alleviate the condition. During the acute phase, bed rest with the scrotum elevated is recommended. Supportive measures such as using a larger scrotal supporter can be employed to relieve symptoms. It will be more comfortable. Individuals experiencing severe pain can take pain relievers.
