Patient's question:
I am an office white-collar worker. Throughout the day, I sit at my desk and am very busy, so I rarely get up to move around. Because of this, I was recently told that I have orchitis. Now, I am in constant pain every day and don't know what to do. Please ask: What are the effective methods for treating epididymitis?Doctor's answer:
Epididymitis is caused by urinary tract infections spreading along the vas deferens to the epididymis. The most common pathogens are Escherichia coli, followed by Proteus, Staphylococcus, Enterococcus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and others. Chlamydia trachomatis can also cause epididymitis. Since there are multiple causes of epididymitis, relying solely on medication is difficult to recover! Therefore, it is recommended that you choose a formal urological hospital for a detailed examination to confirm the cause of epididymitis before symptomatic treatment, which will be more effective. Epididymitis can be relieved, but the treatment process is generally slow, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, medication must be used according to symptoms. Additionally, during treatment, it is recommended to adopt a healthy lifestyle and maintain a proper diet. We hope male patients can recover quickly!
