Patient's question:
The house is currently being renovated, and I go to check on it every day. Sometimes I stand there for one or two hours. I’ve been doing this for about half a month. Recently, when I went back, I felt severe pain in my epididymis. After a check-up, the doctor said it was epididymitis, caused by formaldehyde?Doctor's answer:
Formaldehyde is indeed a harmful chemical substance. However, if it is inhaled for a long time, it can cause great harm to the human body. As you are currently experiencing, there are no too severe symptoms, so it is highly unlikely to lead to epididymitis. Epididymitis may also be caused by neglecting details in daily life or personal hygiene, or by having other diseases in the body. It is best to undergo a detailed and thorough examination. Only in this way can the treatment be more effective. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery and good health!
