Patient's question:
What are the symptoms of epididymitis? Experts, I want to understand what the specific symptoms of epididymitis are. Recently, I keep experiencing testicular swelling and heat, in addition to the problem of frequent urination. Is this a symptom of epididymitis?Doctor's answer:
Consider epididymitis. Antibiotics are beneficial for treatment. Secondary cystitis will heal quickly on its own. Antibiotic selection should be based on bacterial culture and drug sensitivity tests. Common medications include Trimethoprim/Sulfamethoxazole, Norfloxacin, Ciprofloxacin, and other third and fourth-generation quinolone and cephalosporin drugs. All have good efficacy. For patients with epididymitis, timely treatment can reduce the risk of recurrence. If left untreated, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should seek timely symptomatic treatment and maintain a regular lifestyle in daily life, avoiding prolonged sitting.
