Patient's question:
I feel a bit unwell and sometimes have a fever. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, I was diagnosed with epididymitis. How can chronic epididymitis be treated well?Doctor's answer:
Chronic epididymitis has a relatively long course of treatment. You will need intravenous therapy, which generally lasts at least two weeks or more. At the same time, it is important to cooperate with local physical therapy while also resting in bed. Elevating the scrotum and avoiding prolonged sitting or standing is beneficial for patients with epididymitis. Timely treatment can reduce the likelihood of recurrence. If left untreated, it can affect your overall health, so patients should take medication promptly. Additionally, maintaining a regular sex life and avoiding prolonged sitting are important in daily life.
