Patient's question:
The lack of ejaculation on both sides hasn't caused nocturnal emissions for this past month.Doctor's answer:
Hello friend,1 Epididymitis may leave epididymal nodules (which are the proliferation of fibrous tissue and scar tissue) if it is not completely cured. If there is no acute epididymitis, consider the possibility of combined chronic prostatitis and perform relevant tests when necessary.
2 The epididymal hardening is located on the posterior side of the scrotum, which is behind the testis.
3 Unilateral epididymal hardening generally does not have a significant impact. If it is bilateral, it may affect fertility.
4 Since it has been present for a long time, there is a dull pain, indicating that it has not been completely cured and should continue treatment.
5 The elimination of hardening, except for surgery, has no other methods. Sperm will not be present in the scar tissue. It is recommended not to engage in masturbation. If it is difficult to control, it should not exceed 1–2 times per month.
Current treatment options:
- Support the scrotum
- Warm water sitz bath once a day
- Pay attention to the treatment of complications, such as (prostatitis)
- If symptoms are severe and recurrent, affecting daily life and work, surgical treatment can be considered.
