Patient's question:
The testicles were hit. Going to the hospital for a thorough examination revealed epididymitis. Does epididymitis require useful treatments like semiconductor laser therapy and medium-frequency pulse electric therapy? Both are very expensive. I spent 1200 yuan on them. What are the costs for the hospital examination after the testicles were hit and diagnosed with epididymitis?Doctor's answer:
Epididymitis refers to the entry of pathogenic bacteria into the vas deferens, which then retrogressively infiltrates the epididymis, causing inflammation of the epididymis. The main symptoms include fever, scrotal swelling and pain, dull pain, a heavy sensation, and tenderness.Recommendations:
1. Treatment for acute epididymitis:
(1) Antibacterial drugs should be selected based on bacterial sensitivity. Typically, intravenous administration is used for 1–2 weeks, followed by oral antibiotics for 2–4 weeks to prevent the condition from becoming chronic.
2. Treatment for chronic epididymitis can also involve the local application of berberine or neomycin through iontophoresis therapy. Patients should avoid prolonged sitting or riding and pay close attention to personal hygiene.
