Patient's question:
These past few days, while sleeping, my testicles have been a bit sore. Usually, if they are slightly touched or pressed, it causes significant pain, especially in the scrotum area. It feels a bit damp and warm, leading to pain. Lying down helps a bit, reducing the pain. After examination, it was diagnosed as acute epididymitis. I'm really worried.Doctor's answer:
Hello, epididymitis is one of the common diseases among men and can be divided into acute and chronic types. Treatment measures for acute epididymitis may include: recommending patients to rest in bed, elevating the scrotum to reduce pain. In the early stage, an ice pack can be placed on the epididymis to prevent swelling. In the later stage, heat application can be used to promote local blood circulation and accelerate the resolution of inflammation. Since it is an infection, anti-infection treatment should be administered. Clinically, a variety of antibiotics are often selected for comprehensive treatment, which has shown good effects. Wishing you a speedy recovery and good health.
