Patient's question:
Left varicocele and epididymal cyst, will this cause distending pain around the left inguinal region and the perianal area?Doctor's answer:
Based on your medical history, the condition is suspected to be a recurrence of epididymitis, which may cause swelling and pain in the affected scrotum, a heavy sensation, and referred pain in the lower abdomen and groin area, worsening when standing or walking. The affected epididymis may be swollen and tender. Varicocele can lead to an increase in semen quality.For epididymitis, proper and complete antibiotic treatment is required. Recommendations include:
1. Absolute bed rest with elevation of the scrotum;
2. Effective antibiotic treatment for more than 10 days;
3. High ligation surgery of the varicocele after complete recovery from epididymitis.
