How are the complications of chronic epididymitis treated?

Patient's question:

I went to the hospital for a physical examination and was diagnosed with acute epididymitis. The doctor said there is a high possibility of complications. I want to know, how are the complications of chronic epididymitis treated?

Doctor's answer:

Chronic epididymitis may be caused by spicy diet, prolonged sitting, overtime work, frequent sexual intercourse, or other urinary tract infections, etc. If it has already become chronic, it is necessary to eliminate these triggers to prevent the recurring condition. Recurrent epididymitis is prone to relapse, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is essential to seek professional and regular medical treatment immediately. Treatment should be considered based on detailed examination results, and attention should be paid to quitting smoking and drinking, as well as maintaining personal hygiene.
