Patient's question:
What are the serious consequences of recurrent chronic epididymitis? A colleague of mine has this condition and is undergoing medication treatment. However, our training environment is very stressful, and we often sit for long periods of time. Experts, if it doesn't improve, what harms could it cause? What should be paid attention to?Doctor's answer:
Consider epididymitis. Antibiotics are beneficial for treatment. Secondary cystitis will heal quickly on its own. Antibiotic selection should be based on bacterial culture and drug sensitivity tests. Commonly used medications include cotrimoxazole, norfloxacin, ciprofloxacin, and other third and fourth-generation quinolone and cephalosporin drugs. They all have good efficacy. For patients with epididymitis, timely treatment can reduce the incidence. If treatment is not timely, it will affect the physical condition. Therefore, patients should receive timely medication treatment and maintain a regular lifestyle in daily life to avoid prolonged sitting.
