Hello, I have testicular pain and a feeling of heaviness. The doctor said I have epididymitis. How should I treat epididymitis?Doctor's answer:
Epididymitis can lead to epididymal swelling, pain, and discomfort. Rest is recommended, and a thorough examination by the urology department of the hospital is necessary. Anti-inflammatory and anti-nodule medications should be used for observation. It is advised to maintain a light diet, rest, avoid strenuous exercise and overexertion. A urology department examination and treatment with medications such as cefuroxime axetil and levofloxacin can be considered. Epididymitis tends to recur, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is crucial to seek treatment immediately at a professional and reputable hospital. Treatment should be based on examination results.
