Patient's question:
Hello, I have testicular pain and a sensation of heaviness. The doctor said I have epididymitis. What treatment is needed for epididymitis?Doctor's answer:
Epididymitis is common in young and middle-aged men. When the immune system is weakened, bacteria infiltrate the epididymis, causing inflammation, often following urethritis, prostatitis, or seminal vesiculitis. Epididymitis requires consultation with a urologist for proper, full-course antibiotic intravenous treatment and bed rest, otherwise the condition is prone to recurrence. For patients with epididymitis, timely treatment can reduce the risk of complications, while delayed treatment may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should seek timely symptomatic treatment and maintain regular sexual activity in daily life, avoiding prolonged sitting. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
