Patient's question:
I used to have epididymitis, and the symptoms include testicular pain, a sense of heaviness and fullness, sometimes feeling lethargic and fatigued. Which treatment method for epididymitis is most effective?Doctor's answer:
Hello, orchitis is divided into acute and chronic forms, and treatment also has different focuses. For acute epididymitis, it is recommended that patients rest in bed, elevate the scrotum to reduce pain, and apply ice packs to the epididymis in the early stages to prevent swelling. Cold compresses can be used later to improve local blood circulation and accelerate the resolution of inflammation. Since it is contagious, antiviral treatment should be implemented. During the treatment of external epididymitis, sexual activity should be avoided to prevent increased congestion in the genital organs and exacerbation of inflammation. Moreover, if epididymitis does not heal for a long time, it can affect sexual function and fertility. It is recommended that you stop sexual activity immediately and follow medical advice for treatment. Epididymitis is a disease that is not easy to relieve. Friends suffering from this condition should maintain a positive attitude and actively face it. Only in this way can they enhance their confidence in combating epididymitis, as this will surely lead to recovery.
