Patient's question:
Is my epididymitis and prostatitis caused by fungal balanitis? Although the fungal balanitis has been treated, the skin of the scrotum on the affected side still has a stinging sensation. When standing, there is a cyst-like thing about two centimeters long at the lower end of the left testicle. How should I treat the current epididymitis and prostatitis? It has been more than a year.Doctor's answer:
Disease Analysis: Epididymitis is divided into acute epididymitis and chronic epididymitis, and the symptoms of the two are different. Acute epididymitis occurs suddenly, with high fever, elevated white blood cells, swelling and pain in the affected scrotum, a heavy sensation, pulling pain in the lower abdomen and groin area, which worsens when standing or walking, and swelling of the affected epididymis with significant tenderness.Recommendations: Chronic epididymitis is more common. Some patients develop it from acute epididymitis that was not fully cured, but most patients do not have a clear acute phase, and the inflammation is often secondary to chronic prostatitis or injury. Therefore, if you experience symptoms of acute epididymitis, it is important to seek timely treatment to prevent it from progressing to chronic epididymitis.
