Patient's question:
I had epididymitis, which was treated, but why is one of my testicles larger? I received treatment at the hospital, including microwave therapy, radiofrequency therapy, and IV drips. After reexamination, the ultrasound report stated that it is generally large, but I have always felt that one testicle is larger. When the weather gets hot, it also feels a bit heavy. What's going on?Doctor's answer:
Under normal circumstances, if you have epididymitis, it is usually treated with intravenous fluids to reduce inflammation, along with some physical therapy. It typically takes about a week to heal. For your current situation, as long as the examination shows no problems, it means it has healed. Because under normal circumstances, the size of the testicles and epididymis on both sides are naturally different. Generally, the right side is slightly larger than the left. Epididymitis can be stabilized, but the treatment period is usually long, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, medications should be used according to the symptoms. Additionally, during the treatment period, it is recommended to maintain a healthy lifestyle and have a balanced diet.
