Patient's question:
Got epididymitis for four years. Went for a thorough check-up today. The doctor said he needs to remove the testicles. How serious is it?Doctor's answer:
General medication is often difficult to effectively suppress symptoms. In such cases, surgery is generally required. Epididymitis can lead to complications, so since the doctor has recommended surgery after examination, it is better to have it done as soon as possible. For patients with epididymitis, timely treatment can reduce the risk of recurrence. If left untreated, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should take timely and appropriate medication, and pay close attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods.
