Why is the left epididymis larger than the right?

Patient's question:

The day before yesterday, when I took a bath, I felt that my left epididymis was much larger than the right. When it was hard, it was like a small soybean, and it became soft when it wasn't. I'm very panicked now. I have a bit of frequent urination and dribbling.

Doctor's answer:

According to your current symptoms, the main consideration is varicocele or the manifestation of cysts and hernias, which requires you to rest now. It is best to avoid excessive exercise and refrain from spicy foods. Currently, you can take levofloxacin and amoxicillin orally for antibacterial and anti-inflammatory treatment. If necessary, go to the hospital for a health check-up and ultrasound to diagnose the cause. The epididymis can be stabilized, but the treatment process is generally slow, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is crucial to actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment, use medication appropriately, and avoid prolonged sitting or riding. Pay attention to personal hygiene, and we hope male patients can recover quickly!
