Patient's question:
Hello doctor, I have testicular pain and a feeling of heaviness. The hospital examination said I have epididymitis. How can I treat epididymitis quickly and effectively?Doctor's answer:
Chronic epididymitis may not yield ideal results solely through medication. In addition to using effective broad-spectrum antibiotics, local cold compresses and other physical therapies are also very necessary. Local application of berberine or neomycin for iontophoresis treatment to the epididymis can also be considered. If chronic prostatitis is present, it must be treated simultaneously. Epididymitis that recurs repeatedly due to chronic prostatitis may consider vasectomy before further treatment. For those who experience frequent recurrences, epididymectomy may also be considered. For patients with epididymitis, timely treatment can reduce the incidence. If not treated promptly, it will affect health conditions. Therefore, patients should take timely symptomatic treatment and pay more attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods. Wish you a speedy recovery.
