Patient's question:
My current condition is that one side of my epididymis is swollen and tender. Sometimes, when I get a chill, I feel the urge to urinate, and after urinating, there's a slight pain in the ureter!A few days ago, the epididymis wasn't swollen, but there was a constant discharge of thick fluid 24 hours a day. Gradually, it stopped, and I thought it might have healed. Now, however, I've discovered that one side of the 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 very high. A prostatic fluid examination can be performed 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 white discharge in the urethra, accompanied by lower back and knee weakness, impotence, premature ejaculation, and even hematuria and hematospermia.
