Is it normal for the scrotum to become hard after treatment for epididymitis?

Patient's question:

At first, the testicles were hit hard. After a thorough examination at the hospital, it was diagnosed as epididymitis. Also, prostatomegaly with stones were found. I have been undergoing microwave treatment and intravenous drips at the hospital for four days. Today, I noticed that both testicles have become hard. What could be the reason?

Doctor's answer:

Based on the situation you described, it is not ruled out that local inflammation stimulation may cause local edema and hardness. It is necessary to have a clear diagnosis before actively treating it with targeted therapy.
Medical advice: It is recommended that you focus on understanding the treatment and try to rest in bed as much as possible. Elevate the scrotum to alleviate symptoms. Local cold compresses or warm Sitz baths can also be used for therapy. Sexual activity is strictly prohibited. Pay close attention to rest and avoid overexertion to prevent worsening of symptoms.
