Patient's question:
Hello, I have testicular pain and a sensation of heaviness. The doctor said I have epididymitis. How is epididymitis treated to get better?Doctor's answer:
Treatment for epididymitis can involve antibiotic therapy to combat infection, such as third-generation cephalosporin drugs. Local cold compresses can be applied, and incisional drainage may be performed during inflammation to enhance wound care. Avoid prolonged standing or walking. In terms of diet, spicy and irritating foods should be avoided. Epididymitis tends to recur, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is important to seek professional and reputable medical treatment promptly, with treatment decisions based on thorough examination results. Additionally, smoking and alcohol consumption should be avoided, personal hygiene should be maintained, and finally, we wish all patients a speedy recovery.
