Patient's question:
Hello doctor, I have testicular pain and a feeling of heaviness. The hospital examination said I have epididymitis. How should I treat epididymitis for it to be better?Doctor's answer:
Consider epididymitis; antibiotics are beneficial for treatment, and secondary cystitis will be cured quickly. The choice of antibiotics should be based on bacterial culture and drug sensitivity tests. Commonly used medications include co-trimoxazole, norfloxacin, ciprofloxacin, and other third-generation quinolone and cephalosporin drugs, all of which have good efficacy. For patients with epididymitis, timely treatment can reduce the risk of recurrence. If left untreated, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should take medication promptly and avoid overexertion in daily life while paying attention to personal hygiene. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
