Patient's question:
It has been hurting for 3 days. A month ago, I was hospitalized for a thorough examination and diagnosed with a urinary tract infection. Since there was no significant sensation, I didn't take it seriously. Last week, during sexual activity, I noticed that my semen was a bit thick but still very thin. In the past few days, I've been experiencing pain in the right epididymis and realized that I actually have epididymitis. I want to ask how to treat epididymitis most effectively?Doctor's answer:
For patients with epididymitis, in the early stages of the illness, they may still experience local body pain symptoms, particularly pain in the testicular area, which may be more pronounced. In severe cases, the pain may become intense and may radiate to the groin. Patients should take note and seek timely treatment, such as taking oral traditional Chinese medicine diuretic and anti-inflammatory pills. For patients with epididymitis, timely treatment can help reduce the severity of the condition. If left untreated, it may affect overall health. Patients should receive timely medication and avoid overexertion in daily life while paying attention to personal hygiene.
