Patient's question:
Recently, I've been experiencing frequent urination. Later, I gradually felt discomfort in my scrotum, with a sense of fullness and mild tenderness. Could you please tell me what doctors usually recommend for treating epididymitis?Doctor's answer:
Consider epididymitis; antibiotics are beneficial for treatment, and secondary cystitis will recover quickly. The choice of antibiotics should be based on bacterial culture and drug sensitivity tests. Commonly used medications include co-trimoxazole, norfloxacin, ciprofloxacin, and other third-generation quinolone and cephalosporin drugs, all of which have good efficacy. Epididymitis can be stabilized, but the treatment period is generally long, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, medications should be used symptomatically during treatment. Additionally, it is recommended to maintain good lifestyle habits and proper diet during treatment, hoping that male patients can recover quickly!
