Patient's question:
A few weeks 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 suspected I might have epididymitis. I don't know how I got this disease. Please ask: How should epididymitis be treated to recover?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 infiltrate 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, as the condition tends to recur and requires long-term medication. Moreover, for male patients, it is necessary to immediately go to a professional and reputable hospital for diagnosis. Treatment should be considered based on the results of the examination. Additionally, sexual activity should be restricted, and a positive mood should be maintained. Finally, we wish all patients a speedy recovery.
