Patient's question:
Yesterday, I had an ultrasound examination of the testicular area and found some problems. The doctor said it was epididymitis. I do feel discomfort in the testicular area regularly. How should epididymitis be treated?Doctor's answer:
In this case, medication should not be taken solely based on epididymitis. It is important to conduct a thorough examination to determine the type of inflammation and its severity. If the main symptoms are swelling and pain without fever or severe symptoms, you can initially take levofloxacin for treatment and closely monitor the condition. If necessary, undergo a prompt and detailed examination. Epididymitis can be relieved, but the treatment period is generally long, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment, use medication appropriately, and maintain a light diet, avoiding stimulating foods, smoking, and drinking beer. We hope male patients can recover quickly!
