Patient's question:
Doctor, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain recently, and it hasn't subsided. After examination, it was diagnosed as epididymitis. What is the treatment for epididymitis?Doctor's answer:
Appendicitis is believed in Traditional Chinese Medicine to be caused by factors such as damp-heat accumulation, phlegm-dampness, blood stagnation, which obstruct the local flow of Qi and blood. It is recommended to combine traditional Chinese and Western medicine for treatment. Decoctions of Polygonum multiflorum, selfheal, boswellia, ligusticum, white peony root, poria, kelp, and laminaria can be used, paired with oral antibiotics for better results. Appendicitis tends to recur, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is important to actively seek diagnosis at professional and reputable hospitals and consider treatment based on thorough examination results. Additionally, maintain a proper diet, avoid sexual activity, and wish all patients a speedy recovery.
