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. Please ask: How is it better to treat epididymitis?Doctor's answer:
Epididymitis is a common disease among young and middle-aged adults. Whenever the body's resistance is low, pathogenic bacteria such as Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus, and Streptococcus take the opportunity to enter the vas deferens in reverse and seep into the epididymis, causing inflammation. Treatment: Antibiotics should be selected based on bacterial culture and drug sensitivity tests. It is recommended to improve relevant examination and diagnosis, and actively treat epididymitis, which can be stabilized. However, the treatment period is generally long, and the disease is prone to recur after treatment. Therefore, medications must be used symptomatically during treatment. Additionally, patients should maintain a light diet, avoid foods, and not smoke or drink beer. We hope male patients can recover as soon as possible!
