Patient's question:
The scrotum is swollen and there is pain inside the scrotum. When touched, the pain is relatively mild, but when pressed, it feels like being pricked by a needle. Later, it was found that it was epididymitis. What is the cause of epididymitis?Doctor's answer:
The pain caused by epididymitis is due to the effects of inflammation. The most common reasons are irregular living habits and dietary routines, as well as fatigue leading to a weakened immune system. In addition to external factors, poor hygiene during sexual activity and conditions such as phimosis are also contributing factors. If epididymitis occurs, it is important to implement early anti-infection measures. Generally, treatment involves the use of antibiotics.
