Patient's question:
Doctor, I've been feeling lower abdominal pain recently, and it hasn't subsided. After examination, it was diagnosed as epididymitis. I'd like to ask, how can epididymitis be treated to be cured?Doctor's answer:
Epididymitis is often caused by the spread of infection from adjacent organs. It manifests as sudden pain in the scrotal area, swelling of the epididymis, significant tenderness, and may be accompanied by fever, hardening of the epididymis, and other symptoms. Generally, if you have epididymitis, the first steps should be:1. Pay attention to a regular lifestyle, balancing work and rest, avoiding spicy foods, and completely abstaining from alcohol and smoking.
2. Avoid prolonged sitting. Refrain from sexual activity and intense exercise.
3. Maintain regular bowel movements.
4. Take warm sit baths or apply local cold compresses for about 20 minutes each time.
5. Use antibiotics and blood-activating and blood-stasis-resolving medications appropriately.
Epididymitis can be relieved, but the treatment process is usually slow, and the condition is prone to recurrence after recovery. Therefore, during treatment, medications should be used according to symptoms. Additionally, patients should avoid prolonged sitting or riding and pay close attention to personal hygiene. We hope male patients can recover quickly!
