Patient's question:
Epididymitis pain, the doctor said it was caused by prostatitis. A detailed examination of prostatic fluid showed plus signs for lecithin and zero white blood cells. After taking Cefalexin for 12 days, the effect was not significant enough. Then, Ceftriaxone and Metronidazole were administered via intravenous infusion for 13 days. A detailed examination of prostatic fluid showed two plus signs for lecithin and 5-8 white blood cells. The doctor said the prostatitis had improved, but the epididymitis still hurt. Then, Levofloxacin capsules and Yinhua Muyanlin were taken for 20 days. Is the epididymitis caused by prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
In such cases, it can be treated with traditional Chinese medicine. However, if this is the case, it is necessary to go to the hospital because traditional Chinese medicine requires a doctor's prescription to prescribe medication. The doctor needs to examine the tongue and pulse before prescribing traditional Chinese medicine. Epididymitis can be cured, but the treatment period is generally long, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, medication must be used according to the symptoms. Additionally, the patient needs to maintain a light diet, avoid foods, and not smoke or drink beer.
