Patient's question:
A colleague has this disease and is very troubled. They want to see a doctor but feel embarrassed to do so. I'll ask them about whether this condition is treatable. How many methods are there for treating epididymitis?Doctor's answer:
Epididymitis tends to recur repeatedly. During the acute phase, bed rest is required, along with oral antibiotics for 2 to 4 weeks to prevent it from becoming chronic inflammation. Epididymitis can be relieved by clearing damp-heat, resolving stagnation, enhancing kidney function, strengthening semen, and invigorating the body. However, the treatment process is generally slow, and the condition is prone to relapse after treatment. Therefore, medications must be used symptomatically during treatment. Additionally, patients should maintain a light diet, avoid foods, and not smoke or drink beer.
