Patient's question:
Recently, I've been feeling a lot of pain in my testicles, and this week I've also had a fever. Usually, I feel cold, and when I take a bath, I touch my testicles and feel like there's a lot of liquid inside. Please ask: How can epididymitis be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
Epididymitis is a small part of urogenital system inflammation, which can be caused by microbial infections such as bacteria, as well as some cases of chronic aseptic inflammation. Microbial infections can be treated with antibiotics and other anti-infection therapies, while aseptic cases can be managed with traditional Chinese medicine and symptomatic treatments. It is recommended to start with oral azithromycin for anti-infection treatment, followed by a semen routine examination to assess the effectiveness of the treatment. If necessary, traditional Chinese medicine with heat-clearing and detoxifying properties can be taken. Epididymitis can be relieved, but the treatment period is generally long, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, medications should be used symptomatically during treatment. Additionally, patients should avoid prolonged sitting or riding and pay close attention to personal hygiene. We hope that male patients can recover quickly!
