Patient's question:
What's wrong with me? There's a cluster of blood vessels under the glans, a swelling on the right side, and the left testicle is swollen. The examination revealed an epididymal head cyst.Doctor's answer:
1. Treatment of Acute Epididymitis: 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. Treatment of Chronic Epididymitis: Chronic epididymitis often coexists with chronic prostatitis, so the general treatment measures are similar to those for chronic prostatitis. Treating prostatitis can alleviate the symptoms of chronic epididymitis.
