Patient's question:
I am an office white-collar worker. Throughout the day, I sit at my desk and am very busy, so I rarely get up to move around. Because of this, I was recently told that I have epididymitis. Now, I am in constant pain every day and don't know what to do. Please ask: How can epididymitis be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
Attached is orchitis, with symptoms including testicular swelling, mild pain, and referred pain in the scrotum, groin, and inguinal region. It is often accompanied by redness and swelling of the scrotal skin and hydrocele in the scrotum. The tongue is dark with ecchymosis on the edges, and the coating is thin and white. Primarily, bed rest, local cold compresses, and elevation of the scrotum are used for physical therapy to reduce pain. Anti-inflammatory treatment can also be administered, using medications such as azithromycin. Epididymitis can be stabilized, but the treatment period is usually long, and recurrence is common after treatment. Therefore, active cooperation with the doctor's medication plan is essential during treatment. Additionally, patients should avoid prolonged sitting or riding and pay close attention to personal hygiene. We hope male patients can recover quickly!
