Patient's question:
I am an office white-collar worker. Throughout the day, I sit at my desk and am very busy, so I rarely get up to move around. Because of this, I was recently diagnosed with epididymitis. Now, I suffer every day and don't know what to do. Could you please tell me what the diagnostic and treatment procedures for epididymitis are?Doctor's answer:
First, pay attention to rest and support the scrotum. Hot Sitz baths and physical therapy can stabilize symptoms. Intravenous administration of ceftriaxone sodium and levofloxacin, regular sexual activity, avoiding spicy and irritating foods, and abstaining from alcohol are recommended. Maintain a regular schedule and avoid overwork. Epididymitis can be stabilized, but the treatment period is usually long, and relapse is common after treatment. Therefore, active cooperation with the doctor's treatment plan, appropriate medication use, a light diet, avoiding irritating foods, and not smoking or drinking beer are essential. We hope male patients can recover quickly!
