Patient's question:
Epididymitis has been recurring for over two years. When there is inflammation, there is a small lump with pain, and when there is no inflammation, there is little pain. What medication is most effective? I have been taking gatifloxacin for about ten days, and it has reduced somewhat. I feel that besides the lump, should I also focus on oral medication?Doctor's answer:
Currently, it is recommended that you take anti-inflammatory medication and apply externally. You can use Clotrimazole cream, or soak in sodium bicarbonate tablets daily, once a day, for 15 minutes each time. Epididymitis tends to recur, requiring long-term oral medication. For male patients, it is important to actively seek professional and regular medical treatment, and treatment should be considered based on thorough examination results. Additionally, pay attention to a proper diet and avoid sexual activity.
