Patient's question:
Expert, I'd like to ask what methods are the safest and most effective after getting epididymitis? My father has this disease, and the doctor prescribed some medicine for him to apply at home. Do you think this method is good? What are the treatment methods for epididymitis?Doctor's answer:
Epididymitis is an inflammation of the epididymis caused by pathogens such as Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus, Streptococcus, etc., entering the vas deferens in reverse and infiltrating the epididymis. Initially, physical therapy can be tried. For example, supporting the scrotum, local cold compresses, hot sitz baths, and physiotherapy. Alternatively, Toplelin can be used directly to alleviate symptoms if medication treatment is required. Commonly prescribed medications include Co-trimoxazole, Norfloxacin, and Ciprofloxacin, all of which have good efficacy. During treatment, it is recommended to maintain good lifestyle habits and a proper diet.
