Patient's question:
Yesterday, I had an ultrasound examination on the testicular area and found some problems. The doctor said it was epididymitis. I do feel discomfort in the testicular area regularly. I was wondering if antibiotic treatment is effective for epididymitis.Doctor's answer:
Consider epididymitis; antibiotics are beneficial for treatment, and secondary cystitis will recover 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 and fourth-generation quinolone and cephalosporin drugs, all of which have good efficacy. Epididymitis can be cured, but the treatment process is generally slow, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, medications should be used symptomatically during treatment. Additionally, it is recommended to maintain a healthy lifestyle and proper diet during treatment. We hope male patients can recover quickly!
