Patient's question:
Continuous high fever, and I'm especially afraid of cold. At first, I thought it was just a cold, but then I noticed my testicles were getting more and more painful, and when I touched them, it felt like there was water inside. I went to the hospital for a check-up and was diagnosed with orchitis. Please ask: How can epididymitis be treated most effectively?Doctor's answer:
Epididymitis occurs when the body's resistance is low, allowing bacteria to enter the vas deferens and reverse into the epididymis, causing inflammation. The best approach for epididymitis is antiviral treatment, which generally takes about a week to subside. Intravenous treatment is highly recommended, as oral antibiotics may sometimes be ineffective. Epididymitis can be stabilized, but the treatment process is usually slow, and relapse is common after recovery. Therefore, it is crucial for patients to actively cooperate with their doctor's medication plan during treatment. Additionally, patients should avoid prolonged sitting or riding and pay close attention to personal hygiene. We hope male patients can recover quickly!
