Patient's question:
A few days ago, I had a cold, so I thought the fever and chills were caused by the cold. But the fever didn't go down, and I suspect I might have epididymitis. I don't know how I got this disease. Could you please ask: How is epididymitis treated?Doctor's answer:
Appendicitis is believed in Traditional Chinese Medicine to be caused by factors such as damp-heat accumulation, phlegm-dampness, blood stagnation, which lead to impaired local blood and Qi flow. It is recommended to combine Western and Chinese medicine treatments for better outcomes. Decoctions of Polygonum multiflorum, selfheal, boswellia, ligusticum, white peony root, poria, kelp, and bladderwrack can be used, paired with oral antibiotics. For patients with appendicitis, timely treatment can reduce recurrence. If left untreated, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should seek timely symptomatic treatment and avoid overexertion in daily life while maintaining good personal hygiene. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
