Patient's question:
Attached epididymitis, I took medicine for two weeks in total, visited two doctors, and also consulted online doctors who said it wasn't necessary to take medicine. I vaguely remember the last doctor saying it had formed a lump and couldn't be completely cured, but it wasn't a big deal. It's been more than two and a half months now, and I've tried playing basketball and having sex as usual. Although there's no visible trace of pain, I still occasionally feel uncomfortable, especially around the area. When I gently touch the left epididymis, there's no sensation, but if I press harder, it hurts. How can I get it completely better? Although the doctor said the lump couldn't be completely cured, this lingering discomfort is unbearable. I'm very frustrated. Online doctors said it wasn't necessary to take medicine, and the second doctor I visited also said it wasn't necessary. I have left-sided epididymitis. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
