Patient's question:
For a while now, my testicles have been slightly swollen with a dull ache. Recently, they've started to hurt more, especially when touched, and it feels particularly intense. It seems there's also some swelling on the other side. I'm very worried. Could you please tell me how to treat epididymitis?Doctor's answer:
Epididymitis is a common disease among young and middle-aged adults. Whenever the body's resistance is low, pathogenic bacteria such as Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus, and Streptococcus take the opportunity to enter the vas deferens in reverse and the epididymis, causing inflammation. Treatment: Antibiotics should be selected based on bacterial culture and drug sensitivity tests. Commonly used medications include Co-trimoxazole, Norfloxacin, Ciprofloxacin, and other third-generation and fourth-generation quinolone and cephalosporin drugs, all of which have good efficacy. Hello. It is recommended that you improve relevant examinations and diagnoses and actively treat for patients with epididymitis. For patients with epididymitis, timely treatment can reduce the incidence. If not treated in a timely manner, it will affect health conditions. Therefore, patients should receive timely medication treatment and maintain regular sexual activity in daily life to prevent prolonged sitting. Wish you a speedy recovery.
