Patient's question:
Doctor, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain recently, and it hasn't subsided. After examination, it was diagnosed as epididymitis. Could you please tell me about the treatment methods 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 lead to poor blood and Qi circulation in the affected area. It is recommended to combine Western and Chinese medicine treatments for better outcomes. Decoctions of Polygonum multiflorum, selfheal, boswellia, Ligusticum chuanxiong, white peony root, Poria, kelp, and fucus can be used, paired with oral antibiotics. Appendicitis tends to recur, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is crucial to seek professional and reputable medical attention immediately and consider treatment based on thorough examination results. Additionally, it is important to quit smoking and drinking, maintain good personal hygiene, and wish all patients a speedy recovery.
