Can acute epididymitis cause hydrocele?

Patient's question:

I recently don't know why I feel very uncomfortable in my lower abdomen, and I also don't have morning erections anymore. Can acute epididymitis cause hydrocele of the tunica vaginalis?

Doctor's answer:

Analysis of the condition: In this case, it is advisable to seek the assistance of a highly skilled traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) practitioner for treatment.
Advice: For this issue, timely and effective treatment is crucial. Delaying treatment can lead to unnecessary complications. Therefore, it is best to combine traditional Chinese and Western medicine for treatment. Chinese medicine is effective against viral and other infections and has a significant positive effect on inflammation and adhesions, which Western antibiotics cannot achieve. When necessary, physical therapy and other supplementary treatments can be incorporated, which should gradually and thoroughly resolve the problem.
For alleviating fluid accumulation, Chinese herbal decoctions (which can also be combined with physical therapy and other treatments) are clearly the best choice. Western medicine has no effective solution for this.
