Patient's question:
Continuous high fever, and I'm particularly afraid of cold. At first, I thought it was just a cold, but then I noticed 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. Please ask: How is it best to treat epididymitis?Doctor's answer:
Epididymitis is a common disease among young and middle-aged adults. Whenever the body's resistance is low, pathogenic bacteria such as Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus, and Streptococcus take the opportunity to enter the vas deferens and retrograde seep into the epididymis, causing inflammation. Treatment: Antibiotics should be selected based on bacterial culture and drug sensitivity tests. Commonly used medications include sulfamethoxazole, norfloxacin, ciprofloxacin, and other third-generation quinolone and cephalosporin drugs, all of which have good efficacy.Hello! It is recommended to improve relevant examinations and diagnosis and actively treat epididymitis, as the condition tends to recur and requires long-term medication. Additionally, for male patients, it is crucial to seek treatment at a professional and reputable hospital immediately. Treatment should be considered only after careful examination results are obtained. Moreover, proper diet and abstinence from sexual activity should be maintained. Finally, we wish all patients a speedy recovery.
