Patient's question:
At the age of 30, I developed acute epididymitis due to frequent sexual activity in the past. I didn't seek treatment at the time, and it later turned into chronic epididymitis. I visited some hospitals, but they didn't take it seriously. They all said it was prostatitis. Now, the main symptoms are itching in the urethra and itching in the perineum. Can it still be treated?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended to adopt a pure traditional Chinese medicine treatment based on syndrome differentiation for curing the condition. After recovery, the condition will never recur. Physical therapy (such as direct insertion, rectal microwave, and shortwave) is harmful to the body, expensive, and cannot address the root cause. Western medicine treatment can only provide temporary relief and the condition will recur after recovery. For patients with epididymitis, timely treatment can reduce the likelihood of recurrence. If left untreated, it may affect overall health. Therefore, patients should seek timely and symptomatic treatment.
