Patient's question:
I am 54 years old. I have a swollen feeling in the epididymis and testicles, and there is also a sense of pain in the scrotum. The pain is worse when walking and improves when lying down. I suspect I have epididymitis. An ultrasound shows that the left epididymitis is larger than the right, and it has been gradually decreasing in size every year. It is now the size of a chicken egg. What are the dangers of acute epididymitis?Doctor's answer:
