Patient's question:
My colleague's husband suffers from acute epididymitis, and he has taken a lot of medicine but it hasn't improved. I really want to know, how can chronic epididymitis be treated?Doctor's answer:
Orchitis and epididymitis are mostly chronic inflammatory conditions. Unhealthy lifestyle habits, such as excessive consumption of beer and smoking, as well as prolonged sitting in a hot, humid, and stuffy environment, may also lead to urinary tract infections. Therefore, it is important to first visit a regular hospital for a thorough examination to get a clear diagnosis. Tests such as prostatic fluid analysis and color Doppler ultrasound of the urinary and perinatal areas can be performed. Generally, levofloxacin and cephalosporin antibiotics can be prescribed. Additionally, it is important to control sexual activity and maintain a positive mood.
