Patient's question:
Hello, I have testicular pain and a sensation of heaviness. The doctor said I have epididymitis. What kind of treatment is needed for epididymitis?Doctor's answer:
Epididymitis is common in young and middle-aged men. When the immune system is weakened, bacteria infiltrate the epididymis, causing inflammation, often secondary to posterior urethritis, prostatitis, seminal vesiculitis, and other conditions. Epididymitis requires consultation with a urologist for proper, full-course antibiotic intravenous treatment, bed rest, as otherwise the condition tends to recur. For patients with epididymitis, timely treatment can reduce the risk of recurrence, while delayed treatment may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should seek timely, symptomatic treatment and maintain regular sexual activity in daily life while avoiding prolonged sitting. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
