Patient's question:
Recently, my unit organized a physical examination and I went to the hospital for the check-up. I was diagnosed with acute epididymitis. I want to undergo conservative treatment and would like to know how long I need to take medication for chronic epididymitis to recover?Doctor's answer:
Orchitis and epididymitis may recur with symptoms of redness, swelling, and pain, or there may be no obvious sensation. Sometimes, it may be accompanied by prostatitis, affecting urination. It can also affect sexual function. However, do not use medication blindly—first visit a hospital for a thorough examination. Ordinary inflammation can be treated with anti-inflammatory drugs, such as taking levofloxacin or cephalosporin antibiotics. Use medication appropriately. Additionally, during treatment, it is recommended to maintain good lifestyle habits and a proper diet.
