Patient's question:
A classmate recently noticed that their lower abdomen wasn't feeling well. After a thorough examination at the hospital, the result was epididymitis. This scared my classmate badly. They're still young and haven't even married or had children yet. I've seen that their mood has been bad lately, so I want to ask what precautions should be taken when suffering from epididymitis?Doctor's answer:
After suffering from orchitis and epididymitis, it is necessary to pay attention to one's sexual life. This can reduce congestion and also lower the patient's life stress and psychological stress. During the complete recovery period, it is best not to smoke or drink beer, and to eat less spicy, sour, and other stimulating foods to avoid congestion in the epididymal area. Epididymitis can be stabilized, but the treatment process is generally slow, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment, use medication appropriately, and the patient should also maintain a light diet, avoid stimulating foods, and not smoke or drink beer.
