Patient's question:
I am 28 years old, and I have had a persistent high fever for 2 days. I am also very afraid of cold. At first, I thought it was just a cold, but then I noticed that my testicles were getting more and more painful, and when I touched them, it felt like there was water inside. I went to the hospital for a check-up and was diagnosed with orchitis.Question: How should I treat epididymitis diagnosed a week ago?
Doctor's answer:
As you described, it has been confirmed that this is primarily caused by abnormal inflammatory decomposition metabolism, and complete recovery won't be that fast. The treatment method is essentially anti-inflammatory, such as applying mupirocin ointment, taking anti-inflammatory medications, and paying attention to local hygiene. It should not be this quick. For severe cases of epididymitis, it is recommended to seek medical attention immediately and follow the doctor's advice for prompt treatment. Avoid using medication blindly to prevent worsening the condition.
