Patient's question:
I have had high fever for 2 days, and I am especially 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 is it better to treat epididymitis?Doctor's answer:
You should first treat epididymitis, as impotence and premature ejaculation may be related to this condition. It is recommended to use traditional Chinese medicine for treatment. You can use Bupleurum, Radix Paeoniae Rubra, Fructus Meliae, Coptis Rhizoma, Semen Litchi, Semen Ponciri, Alisma, Artemisia Scoparia, Gentiana Macrophylla, Plantago, and Licorice for decoction and oral administration. Persisting in taking this will help recover from epididymitis. If local pain is significant, you can combine it with cold compress treatment. Epididymitis tends to recur, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is important to actively seek professional and regular medical diagnosis and consider treatment based on examination results. Also, pay attention to a proper diet, avoid sexual activity, and finally, wish all patients a speedy recovery.
