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 quickly and effectively?Doctor's answer:
Chronic epididymitis may not yield ideal results solely through medication. In addition to using effective broad-spectrum antibiotics, local cold compresses and other physical therapies are also very necessary. Local application of berberine or neomycin through iontophoresis can also be considered. If chronic prostatitis is present, it must be treated simultaneously. Epididymitis that recurs repeatedly due to chronic prostatitis may be considered for vasectomy before further treatment. For patients who have experienced multiple recurrences, epididymectomy may also be considered. For epididymitis patients, timely treatment can reduce the incidence. If not treated promptly, it may affect overall health. Therefore, patients should seek timely and symptomatic treatment, and pay more attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
