Patient's question:
The duration of sexual activity was only 1.5 minutes, with testicular swelling and pain, fever, and severe heaviness. The examination revealed epididymitis. How can epididymitis be treated to improve?Doctor's answer:
Epididymitis is a common disease among young and middle-aged adults. Whenever the body's resistance weakens, pathogens such as Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus, and Streptococcus take the opportunity to enter the vas deferens and reverse flow into the epididymis, causing inflammation. Therefore, this condition often follows secondary urethritis, prostatitis, and seminal vesiculitis. Based on your description, I recommend you focus on visiting the hospital for follow-up treatment and strictly follow the doctor's advice. During the day, pay attention to rest in bed, elevate the scrotum, apply local cold compresses, eat light and nutritious food, and avoid smoking and alcohol. Wishing you good health.
