Patient's question:
On the right side, below the epididymis, there is a soft lump. A few days ago, it was painful, but after taking the antibiotics prescribed by the doctor—levofloxacin and cefaclor—except for the Liaoqing capsules, it doesn’t hurt anymore. The lump has become a bit harder, and I feel a little better. I am still taking anti-inflammatory medication, and besides the five-day supply, I would like to ask based on the experience and cases of doctors: will this lump disappear with the anti-inflammatory medication? If not, what else can be done to make it go away? Will it affect fertility? Thank you!Doctor's answer:
From the above situation, it cannot be ruled out that inflammation may recur locally. Currently, it is necessary to wait for specific manifestations and combine with careful examinations such as ultrasound to accurately assess the condition and determine the appropriate treatment. The epididymis can be stabilized, but the treatment period is generally long, and the risk of recurrence after treatment is high. Therefore, active cooperation with the doctor's medication plan is essential during treatment. Additionally, it is recommended to maintain a healthy lifestyle and follow a proper diet during the treatment period. We hope that male patients can recover as soon as possible!
