Patient's question:
I am 26 years old, and I recently had a urological health check-up. It was found that I have early epididymitis. At that time, I also felt a bit uncomfortable in my private area but didn't pay much attention. I am asking how to treat the condition of epididymitis in a formal hospital?Doctor's answer:
For the treatment of epididymitis, antibiotics such as erythromycin, doxycycline, and clindamycin, which can easily penetrate the male reproductive tract, are used. After the symptoms of the sexual period subside, medication should still be continued for 4–5 days. The sexual period should also be maintained for 2–4 weeks to stabilize the therapeutic effect. Resting the scrotum, applying cold compresses to the area, avoiding sexual activity, abstaining from smoking, alcohol, and spicy foods, and preventing blood congestion are all effective measures. In addition, during the treatment of epididymitis, in addition to medication, the patient's dietary condition and psychological state are also very important. The patient must always maintain a cheerful mood and eat appropriately to avoid unnecessary impacts on the complete recovery of epididymitis.
