Patient's question:
I just turned 30 this year, and I have testicular pain with a sense of fullness and swelling. I was diagnosed with epididymitis at the hospital, and the doctor prescribed some medication, which I am currently taking. During the treatment process, what other issues should I pay attention to? What should I be careful about?Doctor's answer:
Epididymitis is a common urological condition. However, if not treated promptly and appropriately, it can interfere with sexual function and fertility. During the treatment of epididymitis, it is important to avoid frequent sexual activity or intercourse. Maintain a light diet. Pay attention to regularizing your lifestyle. Balance work and rest. Avoid smoking, alcohol, and spicy foods. Epididymitis can be stabilized, but the treatment period is usually long, and the condition is prone to recurrence. Therefore, during treatment, medication must be used according to the symptoms. Additionally, patients should maintain a light diet, avoid foods, and not smoke or drink beer.
