Patient's question:
Hello, I have pain in my testicles and a feeling of heaviness. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, the doctor said I have epididymitis and found that my epididymis is swollen. How can I recover quickly?Doctor's answer:
The treatment of this condition often does not yield ideal results if solely relying on general anti-inflammatory therapy. Therefore, it is commonly recommended to use antibiotic iontophoresis and seminal vesicle closure therapy. For patients with severe local symptoms that do not improve with prolonged treatment, surgical removal may be considered. If accompanied by prostatitis or seminal vesiculitis, these conditions should be treated concurrently. Male reproductive diseases tend to be recurrent, requiring long-term medication. Additionally, male patients should promptly seek professional and reputable medical attention, with treatment decisions based on thorough examination results. It is also important to quit smoking and drinking, maintain good personal hygiene, and finally, wish all patients a speedy recovery.
