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 when I went to the hospital, the doctor said I had epididymitis. I don't know how I got this disease out of nowhere. I'm asking: How can epididymitis be treated in a safe and effective way?Doctor's answer:
This condition is common in young and middle-aged males, where bacteria infiltrate the epididymis to cause inflammation, often secondary to posterior urethritis, prostatitis, seminal vesiculitis, etc! Epididymitis requires understanding and undergoing a full course of standardized anti-infection intravenous treatment in the urology department, otherwise the condition is prone to recurring. For patients with epididymitis, timely treatment can reduce the likelihood of recurrence, while delayed treatment may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should take medication promptly and avoid overexertion in daily life, paying attention to personal hygiene. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
