Patient's question:
I have epididymitis, and my left testicle is swollen and a bit painful. Please ask: What are the good methods to treat epididymitis?Doctor's answer:
If diagnosed with epididymitis, warm sitz baths can be applied, and antibacterial medications such as cephalosporins and quinolones can be used. If an abscess forms, timely incision and drainage should be performed. If accompanied by chronic prostatitis or other conditions, active treatment should also be initiated. Avoid alcohol and spicy foods, and prevent prolonged cycling or sitting. Epididymitis can be cured, but the treatment period is generally long, and the condition is prone to recurrence after recovery. Therefore, medications should be used symptomatically during treatment. Additionally, patients should avoid prolonged sitting or cycling and pay close attention to personal hygiene. We hope male patients can recover quickly!
