Patient's question:
Hello, I have testicular pain and a feeling of heaviness. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, the doctor said I have epididymitis. What are the conventional treatments for epididymitis?Doctor's answer:
In this case, epididymitis can lead to epididymal swelling and pain. It is recommended to undergo a thorough examination in the urology department and use anti-inflammatory and knot-dissolving medications. It is advised to avoid spicy and irritating foods, maintain a light diet, pay attention to rest, and prevent frequent sexual activity that may cause irritation. Medications such as levofloxacin and Shubitong can be used. Epididymitis tends to recur, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is important to seek treatment at a professional and reputable hospital as soon as possible. Treatment should be considered based on examination results. Additionally, proper diet and abstinence from sexual activity are important. Finally, we wish all patients a speedy recovery.
