Patient's question:
Hello doctor, I have testicular pain and a feeling of heaviness. The hospital examination said I have epididymitis. How is epididymitis treated?Doctor's answer:
According to the situation mentioned by the patient, antibiotics should first be used for treatment. Generally, a week of antibiotic use can significantly alleviate symptoms. There is no need for the patient to be particularly concerned, as treatment for epididymitis with antiviral therapy is usually effective with fewer complications. For patients with epididymitis, timely treatment can reduce the risk of recurrence. If left untreated, it may affect fertility. Therefore, the patient should receive timely and symptomatic treatment, and maintain regular sexual activity and avoid prolonged sitting in daily life. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
