Patient's question:
What are the symptoms of epididymitis? Does it cause constipation? What kind of medication is needed?Doctor's answer:
There is no relationship between the two. Acute epididymitis often presents with sudden swelling and pain in the scrotum, which radiates upward along the spermatic cord, causing significant scrotal enlargement and tenderness upon palpation. Chronic epididymitis is commonly accompanied by a sensation of heaviness and fullness, with localized swelling of the epididymis. Oral antibiotics can be taken, along with rest, scrotal support, and abstinence from sexual activity. Epididymitis can be stabilized, but the treatment process is generally slow, and relapse is common after treatment. Therefore, it is crucial to actively cooperate with the doctor's medication plan during treatment. Additionally, during the treatment period, it is recommended to adopt healthy lifestyle habits and maintain a balanced diet.
