Question
The testicular effusion in a five-month-old boy has healed, but it appeared again soon. What could be the reason?
Answer
The symptoms described by the patient may indicate epididymitis. It is recommended to treat with antibiotics such as ceftriaxone sodium or levofloxacin, and to assist with hormones, heat therapy, or inguinal injections to reduce testicular swelling. At the same time, taking Danshen tablets and avoiding spicy food can also help in the treatment. The doctor suggests an abdominal ultrasound examination to confirm whether it is related to diseases such as enteritis, appendicitis, or intestinal spasm. Common symptoms of these diseases include abdominal pain and diarrhea, and proper treatment should be sought after diagnosis.
