Usually, how should epididymitis be treated?

Patient's question:

Recently, I have experienced symptoms of frequent urination. Later, I gradually felt discomfort in the scrotum, with a sensation of heaviness, swelling, and mild tenderness. In the case of epididymitis, how should it be treated? Please ask the doctor.

Doctor's answer:

There are many medications available for treating epididymitis, but due to the long treatment duration and relatively slow effects, purely medicinal treatment is not recommended. Epididymitis is divided into acute and chronic forms based on its cause, so the treatment approach also varies accordingly. If you have epididymitis, it is essential to visit a formal hospital for follow-up to determine the most effective medication. Epididymitis can be relieved, but the treatment usually takes a long time, and the condition is prone to recurrence after recovery. Therefore, active cooperation with the doctor, proper medication use, avoiding prolonged sitting or riding, and maintaining good personal hygiene are crucial. We hope male patients can recover quickly!
