Patient's question:
Doctor, I had a urinary retention 6 years ago, and suddenly experienced testicular pain and swelling. I was unsure whether it was acute epididymitis or orchitis. Could you please tell me what the cause was and how it should be treated?Doctor's answer:
Hello: According to your description, it may be related to orchitis, epididymitis, or epididymal cysts. It is recommended to refer to the above reasons and undergo an ultrasound examination to identify the cause and receive symptomatic treatment. 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, with a focus on light meals and avoiding foods. Additionally, regular follow-up visits may be necessary if needed.
