Patient's question:
Recently, I'm experiencing a feeling of swelling in the scrotum again. I used to have prostatitis, but I don't know if this time it's a recurrence of the condition.Doctor's answer:
Swelling of the scrotum could be caused by prostatitis, or it could be due to varicocele. It is recommended to visit the urology department of a local public hospital for a follow-up examination, including tests for prostatitis and color Doppler ultrasound, as well as color Doppler ultrasound of the spermatic cord. If the condition is not severe, it may also be observed. Prostatitis can be cured, 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 during treatment, take medication appropriately, and maintain a light diet, avoiding spicy foods, smoking, and drinking beer.
