Patient's question:
Hello doctor, my testicles are quite painful and have a heavy sensation. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, they said I have epididymitis. How can epididymitis be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
Epididymitis is a common disease among infections of male reproductive organs, often occurring in middle-aged and young adults. Since the pathogenic bacteria are Gram-negative bacilli and Gram-positive cocci, it is also known as non-specific epididymitis. For cases with severe local symptoms that do not improve with prolonged treatment, surgical removal may be considered. If accompanied by prostatitis or seminal vesiculitis, the epididymitis should be treated concurrently. The condition tends to recur, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is important to actively seek professional and reputable medical diagnosis and consider treatment based on test results. Additionally, it is necessary to quit smoking and drinking, maintain good personal hygiene, and wish all patients a speedy recovery.
