Patient's question:
I am a male, 29 years old, and have no bad habits. However, I was recently diagnosed with epididymitis. Now, I feel constant pain in my testicles, and sometimes I also have high fever. I am really troubled now. Could you please tell me: How can epididymitis be treated to be cured?Doctor's answer:
This condition is common in young and middle-aged men, where bacteria infiltrate the epididymis to cause inflammation, often following posterior urethritis, prostatitis, or seminal vesiculitis. Epididymitis requires consultation with a urologist for proper, full-course antibiotic intravenous treatment; otherwise, the condition tends to recur. Epididymitis necessitates proper, full-course antibiotic treatment under a urologist's guidance, with attention to bed rest and avoiding overexertion. Epididymitis can be cured, but the treatment period is usually long, and relapse is common after recovery. Therefore, active cooperation with the doctor, appropriate medication, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle with proper diet during treatment are essential. We hope male patients can recover quickly!
