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 felt like I might have epididymitis. I don't know how I got this disease. Please ask: How is epididymitis treated most effectively?Doctor's answer:
Generally, epididymitis can cause swelling, pain, and discomfort in the epididymis. It is recommended to undergo a detailed ultrasound examination in the urology department of a regular hospital to confirm the diagnosis. Anti-inflammatory drugs should be used for observation, such as levofloxacin and cephalosporin antibiotics. It is advised to avoid spicy and irritating foods, maintain a light diet, pay attention to rest, and avoid frequent sexual activity that may cause irritation. A detailed ultrasound examination in the urology department of the hospital should be conducted, and treatment with levofloxacin and cephalosporin antibiotics should be observed. For patients with epididymitis, timely treatment can reduce the incidence of the disease. If it is not treated in a timely manner, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should take medication promptly and maintain regular sexual activity in daily life, avoiding prolonged sitting. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
