Patient's question:
I've been feeling lower abdominal pain when walking recently, and urination is also very uncomfortable. I suspect this is somewhat like the symptoms of epididymitis, so I wanted to verify it. I went to the hospital for a thorough examination, and the doctor said I have epididymitis. What are the symptoms of epididymitis?Doctor's answer:
Orchitis is an inflammation that occurs when a patient's body is weak and invaded by a virus. This inflammation typically starts in the epididymis but gradually spreads. The initial symptoms include severe pain for the patient, which subsides suddenly. At this time, the epididymis may become significantly swollen and may also develop multiple lumps. Orchitis can easily lead to testicular pain and swelling. In severe cases, it may also cause symptoms such as fever. During treatment, it is recommended to drink plenty of water. Cold compresses can be applied to the affected area. Additionally, it is advisable to follow a light diet, avoid spicy and irritating foods, and not overexert oneself.
