Patient's question:
Right testicle has a dull ache, and there's also intermittent pain in the inner side of the right leg. It's been like this for four or five years. After a thorough examination, the doctor said it was epididymitis. I've taken medication, but sometimes it hurts and sometimes it doesn't—what's going on?Doctor's answer:
According to your information, epididymitis is a chronic condition that is difficult to treat. The inflammation tends to recur, requiring careful examination and treatment of the condition. It is recommended to conduct a thorough ultrasound examination of the epididymis to assess the extent of infection, the structure of the epididymis, and any changes that may have occurred. Antibiotics should be administered according to the prescribed course, with follow-up examinations at regular intervals until full recovery is achieved, after which medication should be discontinued. The testicles can be relieved, but the treatment period is generally long, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor's medication plan during treatment. Additionally, it is advisable to adopt a healthy lifestyle and maintain a balanced diet during the treatment period. We hope that the male patient can recover as soon as possible!
