Patient's question:
What is the cause of epididymitis? Doctor, I want to understand if epididymitis is treatable. Why do people get epididymitis? My child is 24 years old, a boy, and he has had epididymitis again. How could he get this disease at such a young age? I hope the expert can help me. Can it be cured?Doctor's answer:
After the acute symptoms disappear, medication should still be used for 4-5 days. In the chronic phase, it should be maintained for 2-4 weeks to stabilize the therapeutic effect. Support the scrotum. Apply local cold compresses. Abstain from sexual activity. Avoid smoking, alcohol, and spicy foods to prevent blood surges. These are all effective measures. Epididymitis can be stabilized, but the treatment period is generally long, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, active cooperation with the doctor's treatment and appropriate medication are essential during the treatment. Additionally, it is recommended to maintain a healthy lifestyle and proper diet during the treatment period.
