Patient's question:
Hello, I have pain in my testicles and a feeling of heaviness. The doctor said I have epididymitis. How should I treat epididymitis?Doctor's answer:
Epididymitis can lead to epididymal swelling, pain, and discomfort. Rest is recommended, and a thorough examination by the urology department of the hospital is necessary to confirm the diagnosis. Treatment with anti-inflammatory and knot-dissolving medications should be observed. It is advised to maintain a light diet, rest, avoid strenuous exercise, and excessive exertion. A urology department examination and treatment with medications such as cefuroxime and levofloxacin can be considered. Epididymitis tends to recur, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is crucial to seek immediate treatment at a professional and reputable hospital based on examination results. Additionally, it is important to quit smoking and drinking, maintain personal hygiene, and wish all patients a speedy recovery.
