Patient's question:
Got epididymitis, the medicine has worked, but it always comes back and forth. It's just a little uncomfortable. The hospital did a color ultrasound and found no obvious abnormalities in the testicles, epididymis, or spermatic cord. I know what to do now. What are the more effective treatments for male epididymitis?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. Keeping the scrotum elevated, applying cold compresses to the area, refraining from sexual activity, avoiding smoking, alcohol, and spicy foods, and preventing blood congestion are all effective measures. Additionally, for patients with orchitis, their dietary condition and care during treatment are also very important. Patients must pay attention to rest and engage in appropriate activities to avoid unnecessary injuries. I hope the above answers can help you. Thank you.
