Patient's question:
Attached epididymitis caused a dull pain in the testicular area one month ago. The hospital diagnosed it as epididymitis and administered intravenous fluids for three days, after which I returned home to take medication. It has been half a month since then, and I have been taking levofloxacin tablets continuously. Now, the epididymis feels hardened, and today I noticed pain in the same side of the thigh root. Is it possible that it hasn't fully healed or has turned into chronic epididymitis? Can it be treated?Question: How should epididymitis be treated to heal quickly?
Doctor's answer:
Based on the situation you described, the main symptoms are likely caused by factors such as inflammation or poor blood circulation. It is best to pay attention to appropriately increasing exercise, drinking more water, urinating more frequently, eating more fruits and vegetables, and avoiding spicy and irritating foods. It is also recommended to avoid drinking beer. Additionally, it is advisable to focus on applying cold compresses regularly and consider undergoing an ultrasound follow-up to assess the condition's full recovery.For patients with epididymitis, timely treatment can help reduce the likelihood of recurrence. If left untreated, it may affect overall health. Therefore, patients should seek treatment promptly and maintain a regular sex life while avoiding prolonged sitting. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
