Patient's question:
I am 32 years old this year. Two days ago, I started experiencing a dull pain in my testicles. I went to the hospital for a thorough examination and was told that I have epididymitis. I would like to ask, what are the methods for treating male epididymitis? How long does the treatment usually take? I am seeking answers, thank you.Doctor's answer:
The symptoms of epididymitis include testicular pain that radiates to the groin, often accompanied by nausea and vomiting. The scrotal skin may become red and swollen, and the testicles may become enlarged, frequently accompanied by hydrocele. It is recommended that you visit the urology department of a professional urological hospital for a follow-up examination to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment. For patients with epididymitis, timely treatment can reduce the risk of recurrence. If left untreated, it may affect overall health. Therefore, patients should seek timely symptomatic treatment and avoid overexertion in daily life while paying attention to personal hygiene. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
