Patient's question:
Hello doctor, I have testicular pain and a feeling of heaviness. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, they said I have epididymitis. How should I treat epididymitis?Doctor's answer:
First, pay attention to rest and support the scrotum. Hot Sitz baths and physical therapy can stabilize symptoms. Intravenous administration of ceftriaxone sodium and levofloxacin, regular sexual activity, avoiding spicy and irritating foods, and avoiding alcohol are recommended. Maintain a regular schedule and avoid overwork. Epididymitis tends to recur, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is important to seek medical treatment at professional and reputable hospitals promptly. Treatment should be considered based on examination results. Additionally, it is important to quit smoking and drinking, maintain personal hygiene, and finally, wish all patients a speedy recovery.
