Patient's question:
I plan to get married this year, but I know that I have a disease called chronic epididymitis. I want to know, how long does chronic epididymitis usually last?Doctor's answer:
According to the symptoms, the patient should have epididymitis. It is due to excessive internal heat that manifests in the genital area. Therefore, there is itching, pain, and urinary urgency in the genital area. It is recommended to prescribe antibiotics such as levofloxacin and metronidazole tablets for treatment. Additionally, herbal medicine like Longdan Xiegan Wan, which clears heat, promotes diuresis, and invigorates blood circulation, should be administered. Avoid smoking and alcohol. Epididymitis tends to recur, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is important to seek professional and reputable medical treatment promptly. Treatment should be considered based on thorough examination results, and sexual activity should be controlled. Maintain a positive mood.
