Sudden pain in the scrotal area, swelling of the epididymis, significant tenderness upon touch. What could be the cause besides a lump?Doctor's answer:
This is a case of scrotal swelling and pain, which is suspected to be testitis caused by a bacterial infection. The recurrence of swelling, pain, and fever symptoms requires rest, attention to hygiene, avoiding beer and spicy, fried foods, and increasing water intake. For a definitive diagnosis, it is recommended to visit a regular hospital's urology department for a color Doppler ultrasound examination. Based on the examination results, targeted treatment should be administered.The epididymis can recover, but the treatment period is generally long, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, medication should be used according to the symptoms. Additionally, it is advisable to maintain a healthy lifestyle and follow a proper diet during the treatment period.
