Patient's question:
Got epididymitis and it hurts a lot, but I don't know which one to see. Is epididymitis better treated with traditional Chinese medicine or Western medicine?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended to adopt traditional Chinese medicine treatment. Chai hu (Bupleurum root), Chi shao (Red peony root), Chuan lian zi (Fried fructus meliae), Dan cao (Coptis rhizome) can be used. Lychee seed, Guang ju he (Tangerine seed), Ze xie (Alisma rhizome). Yin chen (Coptis rhizome). Qin jiao (Scutellaria root), Che qian zi (Plantain seed). Sheng gan cao (Licorice root) should be decocted in water and taken orally. Persisting oral medication can cure epididymitis. If local pain is significant, it can be supplemented with cold compress treatment. Epididymitis tends to recur, requiring long-term oral medication. Treatment should be considered based on examination results. Additionally, sexual activity should be controlled, and a positive mood should be maintained.
