Patient's question:
I used to have epididymitis. The symptoms include testicular pain, a heavy and distended sensation, and sometimes a lack of energy, feeling tired. I'm asking how is it generally treated effectively after getting epididymitis?Doctor's answer:
Epididymitis is a common disease among young and middle-aged adults. When the body's resistance is weakened, pathogenic bacteria such as Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus, and Streptococcus take the opportunity to enter the vas deferens and reverse into the epididymis, causing inflammation. The disease often follows urethritis, prostatitis, and seminal vesiculitis. According to your description, it is recommended that you focus on visiting the hospital for follow-up treatment. Follow the doctor's advice for treatment, pay attention to bed rest, elevate the scrotum, apply cold compresses to the scrotal area, and eat light food, avoid smoking and alcohol, etc. In addition to timely treatment for epididymitis, friends with the disease should always maintain a positive attitude to face the illness. Only in this way can the patient's immunity and the belief to fight the disease be improved. At the same time, it is important to pay attention to dietary care, with light food as the foundation, and avoid stimulating and cold food. In this way, epididymitis can definitely be driven away.
