Patient's question:
I feel like I might have epididymitis. I noticed that the skin of my testicles is particularly red and slightly swollen. It also hurts when I touch it, and there's some discomfort inside. These symptoms have persisted for a week without any improvement. I'm still young and haven't been married yet, so I'm really scared. Could you please tell me how to treat mild epididymitis effectively?Doctor's answer:
Hello. For general acute orchitis, early intravenous administration of large doses of broad-spectrum effective antibiotics should be used to control inflammation, in order to reduce the risk of recurrent suppurative orchitis and testicular abscess.Hello. It is recommended to avoid spicy and irritating foods. Maintain a light diet, pay attention to rest, and local physical therapy. Medications such as levofloxacin and Lóngbìshū can be used for patients with epididymitis. Timely treatment can help reduce the incidence of the disease, but if left untreated, it may affect overall health. Therefore, patients should seek timely symptomatic treatment and avoid overexertion in daily life while paying attention to personal hygiene. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
