Patient's question:
I am 31 years old, male. I have had infectious urethritis a year ago, and Mycoplasma reappeared with symptoms of frequent urination, urgent urination, urinary pain, urethral itching, and discharge. The discharge caused acute epididymitis, which then became chronic epididymitis. There is a lump along the left epididymis. Now, frequent urination, urgent urination, and urinary pain have reappeared again, in addition to the discharge. What medication should I use for treatment? What are the treatment methods for epididymitis? What are the treatment methods for epididymitis?Doctor's answer:
There are many drugs for treating epididymitis, but in terms of treatment effectiveness, the course of treatment is long, and the effect is relatively slow. Therefore, it is not advisable to rely solely on medication to treat epididymitis. According to the cause of onset, epididymitis is divided into acute epididymitis and chronic epididymitis, so the treatment also has different focuses. If you have epididymitis, you need to go to a regular hospital for follow-up to confirm which medication is effective and works quickly. Regardless of which medication is used to treat epididymitis, if it heals on its own, it may recur if sexual activity is excessive. Additionally, patients should avoid sitting or riding for long periods and pay more attention to personal hygiene.
