Patient's question:
It has always been this way. After I got epididymitis, I have been taking medicine for treatment, but the results are really minimal. I want to ask if epididymitis is better treated with traditional Chinese medicine or Western medicine?Doctor's answer:
It is necessary to actively treat epididymitis to prevent it from leading to prostatitis or affecting sperm quality. For treatment, both traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine have their own characteristics. Therefore, it is best for you to take medication according to your doctor's advice based on your condition. During this period, pay attention to getting plenty of rest and avoid spicy and irritating foods in your diet. Epididymitis tends to recur, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is important to seek treatment at professional and reputable hospitals in a timely manner, and treatment should be considered based on the results of thorough examinations. Additionally, it is important to quit smoking and drinking, and pay attention to personal hygiene.
