Patient's question:
My current situation is that one side of my epididymis is swollen and tender. Sometimes, when I get a chill, I feel a strong urge to urinate, and after urinating, there's a slight pain in my ureter!A few days ago, my epididymis wasn't swollen, but it was constantly leaking thick discharge 24 hours a day. Gradually, it stopped, and I thought it might have healed. Now, however, I've discovered that one side of my epididymis is swollen and painful!
What should I do!~
I want to ask, is this epididymitis? How can it be treated!
Doctor's answer:
Hello: Based on your description, the possibility of prostatitis is high. You can undergo a prostatic fluid examination for a definitive diagnosis. The main symptoms of prostatitis are: frequent urination, urgent urination, painful urination, perineal pain, discomfort in the lower abdomen, perineum, and testicular area. There is often a white discharge from the urethra, accompanied by lower back pain, weak knees, impotence, premature ejaculation, and even hematuria or hematospermia.As everyone knows, acute epididymitis can cause significant harm to patients, so it is important to seek treatment as soon as possible. In daily life, attention should be paid to dietary issues—opt for a light diet and avoid foods. Additionally, regular follow-up visits may be necessary when needed.
