Patient's question:
Doctor, I am 39 years old this year, male, unmarried, and have been carefully diagnosed with epididymitis, which makes me very upset. Although the doctor has prescribed medication, where I live is small, and I don't know if taking medication alone can really cure it? What do you think about the treatment for epididymitis? Can it be cured?Doctor's answer:
Epididymitis is clinically classified into acute epididymitis and chronic epididymitis. This condition is often secondary to posterior urethritis, prostatitis, or seminal vesiculitis. It is recommended that you seek timely medical treatment as prescribed. With proper and timely treatment, the condition can often heal on its own. For patients with epididymitis, timely treatment can reduce the likelihood of recurrence. If left untreated, it may affect overall health. Therefore, patients should take medication promptly and maintain a regular lifestyle in daily life, avoiding prolonged sitting.
