Patient's question:
Two years ago, after the epididymitis healed on its own, a lump remained. It hasn't gone away yet. The upper and lower lumps don't hurt when touched.Doctor's answer:
Attached epididymitis leaves behind epididymal nodules, and these residual inflammatory nodules are difficult to completely eliminate. If there is no pain, treatment may not be necessary. Western medicine offers limited effective methods for treating this condition. If accompanied by pain or discomfort, Chinese medicine and herbal treatments can be used for syndrome differentiation and treatment, with Jujube Kernel Pill as the foundation to promote blood circulation, remove blood stasis, and dispel phlegm. In this case, it is essential to undergo a routine semen analysis to understand if there are any abnormalities in the semen. Epididymitis can be alleviated, but the treatment process is generally slow, and relapse is common after treatment. Therefore, active cooperation with the doctor's medication plan is crucial during treatment. Additionally, patients should maintain a light diet, avoid foods, and not smoke or drink beer.
