Patient's question:
I feel unwell, went to the hospital for a check-up, what should I do? I can't have sex anymore. How should I treat epididymitis?Doctor's answer:
Epididymitis is a common disease among young and middle-aged adults. Whenever the body's resistance is low, pathogens such as Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus, and Streptococcus take the opportunity to invade the vas deferens and retrograde seep into the epididymis, causing inflammation. For chronic epididymitis, the effect of medication alone may not be ideal. In addition to using effective broad-spectrum antibiotics, local cold compresses and other physical therapies are also very necessary. Local application of berberine or neomycin through iontophoresis can also be considered. If chronic prostatitis is present, it must be treated simultaneously. Epididymitis that recurs repeatedly due to chronic prostatitis may consider vas deferens resection before further treatment.
