Patient's question:
Doctor, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain recently, and it hasn't subsided. After examination, it was diagnosed as epididymitis. Which hospital is the best for treating epididymitis? How is epididymitis confirmed?Doctor's answer:
Treatment of Epididymitis. It is necessary to use antibiotics that can easily penetrate into the male reproductive tract, such as erythromycin, doxycycline, and clindamycin. After the symptoms of the acute phase subside, medication should still be continued for 4-5 days. In the chronic phase, treatment should be maintained for 2-4 weeks to ensure the efficacy. Holding the scrotum, local cold compresses, refraining from sexual activity, avoiding alcohol, tobacco, and spicy foods, and preventing blood from rushing are all effective measures. Epididymitis can be relieved, but the treatment period is generally long, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, active cooperation with the doctor's medication plan is essential during treatment. Additionally, patients should avoid prolonged sitting or riding and pay close attention to personal hygiene. We hope that male patients can recover quickly!
