Patient's question:
It's been a while, and recently I've started feeling some pain, especially when touched, it's particularly severe. Also, it seems there's some swelling on the other side. I'm very worried. Could you please ask: How can epididymitis be effectively treated?Doctor's answer:
Hello! The treatment for epididymitis can involve antibiotic therapy to combat infection, such as third-generation cephalosporin drugs. Local cold compresses can be applied, and incisional drainage may be performed during inflammation to enhance wound care. Avoid prolonged standing or walking. In terms of diet, avoid spicy and irritating foods. For patients with epididymitis, timely treatment can reduce the risk of recurrence. If left untreated, it may affect overall health. Therefore, patients should take medication promptly and pay attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods. Wishing you a speedy recovery!
