Patient's question:
I feel that my genital has swelling and a sensation of dropping. Sometimes it's painful. After a thorough examination, the result was epididymal hydrocele. How is epididymal hydrocele caused?Doctor's answer:
The patient has primarily been diagnosed with epididymal congestion, mainly because sperm cannot be expelled in a timely manner, leading to congestion in the epididymis. In severe cases, it may cause discomfort symptoms in the epididymis. It is recommended to use microwave heat therapy. Additionally, if the epididymal congestion is inflammatory, it can be treated with a decoction of 30g of rhubarb and 30g of Houttuynia cordata, along with oral anti-inflammatory medications. It is advised to seek treatment at a local hospital for a thorough examination. During treatment, the diet should be light and avoid spicy foods.
