Patient's question:
Hello doctor! I would like to consult you about something. I had a circumcision surgery before and later got an infection with some inflammation. Since then, I feel that my sexual function has not been good. After frequent sexual activity, I often feel some swelling and pain on my glans, and especially my testicles feel very uncomfortable.Doctor's answer:
Treatment of Diseases 1 Acute Epididymitis Treatment: Acute epididymitis should be treated with appropriate rest, antibiotics, and general analgesics. Local heat application, physical therapy, and the use of scrotal supports can be applied. If an abscess forms, drainage through incision is necessary. Additionally, the underlying cause should be actively addressed.2 Chronic Epididymitis Treatment: Chronic epididymitis often coexists with chronic prostatitis, so the general treatment measures are similar to those for chronic prostatitis. Treating prostatitis can alleviate symptoms of chronic epididymitis. After the epididymitis heals, residual epididymal nodules may cause psychological burden to the patient. Surgical orchiectomy does not always relieve symptoms, so it is generally not performed. For male infertility caused by bilateral epididymitis leading to obstructed sperm output, anastomosis of the vas deferens at the proximal obstruction site of the epididymis can partially address the issue of sperm drainage, but the postoperative pregnancy rate remains low.
