Patient's question:
Male, 26 years old, diagnosed with epididymitis, which was cured with medication. Now it keeps recurring, and even a little discomfort is unbearable. A hospital ultrasound showed no obvious abnormalities in the testicles, epididymis, or spermatic cord. I don't know what to do. What should I eat if I have epididymitis?Doctor's answer:
Epididymitis treatment is best when the specific bacteria causing it is identified, followed by targeted oral antibiotics. Rest should be paid attention to during daily life. You can make a soft pad to support the testicles, which can reduce pain. Early application of ice packs is recommended. During treatment, sexual activity and heavy physical labor should be avoided. For severe pain, local analgesics can be used. Different causes lead to different symptoms. Patients need to seek systematic and standardized examination at reputable Grade-A hospitals as soon as possible based on their condition, so that they can receive symptomatic treatment and recover quickly.
