Patient's question:
Right testicle has been aching and swollen recently, occasionally accompanied by a sensation of heaviness. How should I treat epididymitis that I just got?Doctor's answer:
This issue of epididymitis can be treated with anti-inflammatory medications such as cefixime. Generally, traditional Chinese medicine is not very effective for this condition. External applications of ichthammol ointment can be helpful. Appropriately reducing the frequency of sexual activity is beneficial for a complete recovery. Epididymitis can be alleviated, but the treatment period is usually long, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is essential for patients to actively cooperate with their doctors and use medications appropriately. Additionally, patients should avoid prolonged sitting or riding and pay close attention to personal hygiene. We hope that male patients can recover quickly!
