How to treat epididymitis effectively?

Patient's question:

I have had a high fever for 2 days, and I am particularly afraid of cold. At first, I thought it was just a cold, but then I noticed that my testicles were getting more and more painful, and when I touched them, it felt like there was water inside. I went to the hospital for a check-up and was diagnosed with orchitis. Please ask: How can epididymitis be treated effectively?

Doctor's answer:

There are many drugs available for the treatment of epididymitis, but in terms of therapeutic effects, the treatment course is long, and the effects are relatively slow, so pure drug therapy is not recommended. Epididymitis is divided into acute epididymitis and chronic epididymitis based on different causes, so the treatment also has different focuses. If you have epididymitis, you need to go to a regular hospital for follow-up to confirm which medication is most effective for you. The condition of epididymitis is prone to recurrence, requiring long-term drug treatment. Moreover, for male patients, it is important to promptly seek medical attention at a professional and regular hospital, and treatment should be considered based on detailed examination results. Additionally, it is necessary to restrict sexual activity and maintain a positive mood. Finally, we wish all patients a speedy recovery.
