Patient's question:
Yesterday, I had an ultrasound examination of the testicular area and found some problems. The doctor said it was epididymitis. I do feel discomfort in the testicular area regularly. How should epididymitis be treated?Doctor's answer:
In this case, medication should not be taken solely based on epididymitis. It is essential to undergo a thorough examination to determine the type of inflammation and its severity. If the primary symptoms are swelling and pain without fever or severe symptoms, you can initially take levofloxacin for treatment and closely monitor the condition. If necessary, further examinations should be conducted promptly. Epididymitis can be relieved, but the treatment duration is generally long, and the condition is prone to recurrence after recovery. Therefore, it is crucial to actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment plan, use medication appropriately, and maintain a light diet, avoiding foods, smoking, and drinking beer. We hope male patients can recover as soon as possible!
