What are the precautions for treating epididymitis?

Patient's question:

Recently, I've been feeling a lot of pain in my testicles, and this week alone, I've had a fever three times. Usually, I feel cold, and when I take a bath, I notice that my testicles seem to contain a lot of liquid. Please ask: What are the precautions for treating epididymitis?

Doctor's answer:

For epididymitis, it is important to pay attention to maintaining regular bowel movements in daily life. Avoid sitting for long periods. Sexual activity should not be too frequent. Reducing pressure on the epididymis is beneficial for lowering local resistance. Avoid spicy and irritating foods in your diet. Do not increase fluid intake due to frequent urination, as more water can dissolve urine to prevent urinary tract infections and the formation of bladder stones. It is best to drink cool boiled water and avoid drinking strong tea. For patients with epididymitis, timely treatment can reduce the incidence of the disease. If left untreated, it can affect overall health. Therefore, patients should take medication according to symptoms and maintain regular sexual activity in daily life, avoiding prolonged sitting. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
