Patients with epididymitis generally do not require surgical treatment. In most cases, they are treated with oral medications or intravenous antibiotics, and typically recover within 1 to 2 weeks of treatment. However, if the symptoms of epididymitis are severe and not treated in time, leading to further aggravation of the condition or even formation of an epididymal abscess, surgical intervention may be necessary. Typically, this involves incision and drainage of the abscess to remove pus from the body. It is also important to regularly change dressings and keep the wound area clean and dry until it gradually heals. (Please administer medication under the guidance of a doctor.)
