Patient's question:
The left testicle is swollen and hurts when touched, as if it's not fully swollen. What medicine should be taken for half of it being swollen? How long does the hard lump disappear?Doctor's answer:
You have experienced a lump again after suffering from epididymitis. This recurrence may be due to the formation of scar tissue and fibrosis following the return of inflammation. There is no need to be overly concerned, as the lump caused by recurrent epididymitis will gradually disappear over time. Epididymitis tends to be recurrent, requiring long-term medication for management. For male patients, it is essential to seek immediate treatment at a professional and reputable hospital. Treatment should be considered based on thorough examination results. Additionally, it is important to quit smoking and drinking, and to pay attention to personal hygiene.
