Patient's question:
I have always been very particular about taking care of my physical health. Who knew that I actually had orchitis and epididymitis? I got married not long ago and wanted to ask if orchitis and epididymitis affect fertility?Doctor's answer:
Patients with epididymitis should pay special attention to strictly prohibiting sexual activity during the acute phase of the illness. Intense sexual activity can cause congestion in the testicles, which may worsen the inflammation. Patients must take this seriously to avoid unnecessary harm to themselves and to ensure effective treatment of the disease. During the recovery process, patients with epididymitis should also pay attention to personal hygiene, taking frequent baths, and changing their clothes and underwear often. It is recommended that patients expose their underwear to sunlight for disinfection. Patients should pay close attention to their condition and seek timely treatment with traditional Chinese medicine diuretic and anti-inflammatory pills, while ensuring adequate rest.
