Patient's question:
I felt something wrong with my scrotum a while ago, and I went to the hospital. The doctor said I had mild epididymitis, but I want to understand what are the symptoms of mild epididymitis?Doctor's answer:
Epididymitis is characterized by sudden pain in the scrotum accompanied by fever and symptoms such as epididymal hardening. Inflammation of the epididymis can interfere with sperm production, reducing fertility. The inflammation may also lead to blockage of the epididymal ducts, resulting in clinical infertility.1. Symptoms of chronic epididymitis include a dull ache in the scrotum, a feeling of heaviness, and swelling. The pain often affects the lower abdomen and the inguinal region on the same side. Sometimes it may be combined with secondary hydrocyclone.
2. Symptoms of acute epididymitis include swelling and pain in the affected scrotum, a feeling of heaviness, and relief when standing or walking.
