Can epididymitis be cured by taking some medication?

Patient's question:

I had epididymitis and took some medication. It subsided, but after a few weeks, a stone-sized lump hasn't gone away. Can taking some general anti-inflammatory medication help it go down? Can my epididymitis be cured with some medication?

Doctor's answer:

Your condition may be a recurrence of orchitis or epididymitis. It is recommended to seek a thorough examination and diagnosis from a urologist promptly. Active anti-inflammatory treatment should be administered. Apply local cold compresses. Rest as much as possible and avoid prolonged standing. Do not consume spicy or irritating foods. The epididymitis can be resolved, but the treatment period is generally long, and the condition is prone to recurrence. Therefore, it is crucial to actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment and take medication appropriately. Additionally, patients should maintain a light diet, avoid stimulating foods, and refrain from smoking and drinking beer.
