Does pinching the epididymis hurt a normal person?

Normal people feel pain when pinching. This is a normal condition and there is no need to worry too much or be nervous. If you think there are other abnormalities, it is recommended to go to the urology department of the hospital for medical treatment. Through regular physical examinations, the current detailed situation can be clearly identified. Then consider the best next step to improve the treatment plan.

Does pinching the epididymal cyst hurt?

Excessive squeezing and irritation of the epididymal cyst will also cause obvious pain to ordinary people, because the nerves in the genitals and epididymal cyst are rich and diverse, and obvious pain will occur after a large degree of stimulation.

Mild pain when touched indicates the possibility of epididymitis. Clinical professional skills are needed for palpation and examination. If necessary, scrotal ultrasound should be used to examine the epididymal cyst, grasp the internal echo, accurately measure the meridian of the epididymal cyst, and draw blood for basic blood tests to understand the changes in blood counts.

After comprehensive examination results and accompanying symptoms confirm the diagnosis of epididymitis, quinolone or cephalosporin antibiotics should be given for anti-inflammatory treatment, which can effectively relieve the pain.

Acute epididymitis:

Sudden high fever, increased white blood cell count, swelling and heaviness in the scrotum of the affected limb, and referred pain in the lower abdomen and groin, which worsens when standing up or walking. The epididymal cyst of the affected limb is swollen and there is significant tenderness. When the inflammation is very large, both the epididymal cyst and the male testicles are swollen, and the boundary between the two is unclear, which is called epididymal cyst-orchitis. The seminal flexure of the affected limb is enlarged and thickened, and there is also tenderness. Under normal circumstances, acute symptoms can slowly disappear after a week.

Chronic epididymitis:

Chronic epididymitis is more common. Some patients become chronic because acute symptoms cannot be completely cured, but most patients do not have confirmed acute symptoms. Inflammation is often secondary to chronic prostatitis or damage. Patients often feel dull pain in the scrotum of the affected limb, with a feeling of bloating. The pain often involves the lower abdomen and groin in the same direction, and sometimes it can be combined with secondary hydrocele. During examination, the epididymal cyst often appears to be enlarged and hardened to varying degrees. There is slight tenderness, and the ejaculatory duct in the same direction may be enlarged and thickened.
