What are the symptoms of epididymitis and orchitis?

Patient's question:

A week ago, I had an ultrasound at the hospital to confirm the epididymitis of the right testicle. After being given intravenous fluids for two days, I noticed some peeling on the right testicle and found it in my underwear. I searched on Baidu and it said it's something like skin folds peeling off during the subsidence of inflammation. Is that right, doctor?

Doctor's answer:

It is right testicular inflammation, after two days of intravenous drip treatment, it reappeared after the treatment was completed, with peeling phenomena. If the testicles were swollen significantly before, the peeling may reappear after the swelling subsides, which is a sign of the testicles gradually improving. Epididymitis is prone to recurrence, requiring long-term medication. Moreover, for male patients, it is important to actively seek professional and regular medical treatment, and consider treatment based on the examination results.
