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: What should I do if I have epididymitis?Doctor's answer:
Based on your description, a comprehensive analysis suggests it may be epididymitis. Local cold compresses can be applied. During standing exercises, it is advisable to use a scrotal support to hold the scrotum in place. In addition to traditional Chinese medicine tablets, oral cefixime and levofloxacin capsules can be used in combination. For significant inflammation and severe pain, it is recommended to start intravenous antibiotics as soon as possible. You can visit the urology department for a color Doppler ultrasound or a thorough physical examination. Intravenous administration of penicillin-class antibiotics, combined with levofloxacin and ornidazole, can help reduce inflammation. Pay attention to avoid excessive exercise, get adequate rest, and refrain from excessive sexual activity or drinking beer and overexerting yourself.
