Patient's question:
Hello doctor, I have testicular pain and a feeling of heaviness. The hospital examination said I have epididymitis. How can I treat epididymitis well?Doctor's answer:
This acute epididymitis can be treated with anti-inflammatory medications such as cefixime and levofloxacin, among others. Additionally, topical treatments like ichthammol can be applied. Sexual activity should be avoided for the time being. If the condition stabilizes quickly, it will be fine. If stabilization is not evident, it is best to administer intravenous anti-inflammatory medications, along with thorough local cleaning to maintain hygiene. Epididymitis can be cured, but the treatment period is usually long, and relapse is common after recovery. Therefore, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor's medication plan during treatment. Additionally, patients should follow a light diet, avoid foods, and refrain from smoking and drinking beer. We hope male patients can recover as soon as possible!
