Patient's question:
Chronic epididymitis has been diagnosed by the hospital after a thorough examination, but it has been more than two and a half months. Western medicine and intravenous drips have not been effective. What should I do about this specific condition? I am very worried and would like to ask about the treatment drugs for chronic epididymitis.Doctor's answer:
Chronic epididymitis has a relatively high incidence rate, often resulting from acute epididymitis that was not treated promptly. Patients may experience a dull ache in the affected scrotum, accompanied by a sense of heaviness and distension. The pain often radiates to the lower abdomen or the groin on the same side. Patients should take oral Chinese medicine diuretic and anti-inflammatory pills and avoid sitting for extended periods. Epididymitis can be relieved, but the treatment process is generally slow, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is essential to use medications that target the specific symptoms during treatment. Additionally, it is recommended to adopt a healthy lifestyle and maintain a balanced diet during the treatment period.
