Patient's question:
About two months ago, I got epididymitis from doing farm work. At first, I received anti-inflammatory treatment, but it didn't work. Three weeks ago, I felt a heavy pain in my testicles when walking, along with swelling, and there were hard lumps when I touched them. Do I have to have surgery to be cured? If not, what other treatment methods are available?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, it is considered a symptom of chronic epididymitis. If the condition is not severe, it can also be treated without surgery using other methods. Generally, you can first try physical therapy, such as lifting the scrotum, local heat application, hot water sitz baths, or physiotherapy, or directly use Tolmetin to relieve symptoms. For sexual dysfunction, medication and surgical treatment can be chosen. If it is severe, you can go to the hospital for surgical treatment. The main thing is not to be afraid. It is recommended that patients first go to the hospital for an examination to determine the cause of the condition, and then treat it based on the etiology. In most cases, it can be cured.
