Patient's question:
Last night while taking a shower, I touched my testicles and felt a bit of pain. I woke up early and seemed to have a fever, which got worse in the afternoon. I went to the hospital for a check-up and was told I have epididymitis. I am really very worried. Please ask: How can early epididymitis be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
Consider epididymitis, antibiotics are beneficial for treatment, secondary cystitis will recover quickly. The choice of antibiotics should be based on bacterial culture and drug sensitivity tests. Commonly used drugs include co-trimoxazole, norfloxacin, ciprofloxacin, and other third and fourth-generation quinolone and cephalosporin drugs, all of which have good efficacy. For patients with epididymitis, timely treatment can reduce the incidence. If not treated in a timely manner, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should receive timely symptomatic treatment and maintain regular sexual activity in daily life to avoid prolonged sitting. Wish you a speedy recovery.
