Patient's question:
I feel like I might have epididymitis. I noticed that the skin of my testicles is particularly red, and it seems a bit swollen. It also hurts when I touch it, and there's some discomfort inside. These symptoms have persisted for a week without any improvement. I'm still young and haven't even been married yet. I'm really scared. Could you please tell me: How is it best to treat mild epididymitis?Doctor's answer:
Hello. For general acute orchitis, early intravenous administration of large doses of broad-spectrum effective antibiotics should be used to control inflammation, in order to reduce the risk of recurrent suppurative orchitis and testicular abscess.Hello. It is recommended to avoid spicy and irritating foods. Maintain a light diet, pay attention to rest, and local physical therapy. The use of medications such as levofloxacin and Lóngbìshū can help patients with epididymitis. Timely treatment can reduce the incidence of the disease, but if left untreated, it may affect overall health. Therefore, patients should seek timely and symptomatic treatment, and avoid overexertion in daily life while paying attention to personal hygiene. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
