Patient's question:
Due to having epididymitis, I have been controlling many aspects of my life. However, it has been almost a year, and the condition has not been treated yet. It's really frustrating. I want to ask how to treat epididymitis effectively.Doctor's answer:
Epididymitis is a common disease among young and middle-aged men, and its symptoms can also affect daily life. Patients may experience high fever, while their white blood cell count may decrease. The affected side of the epididymis will have swelling and a heavy or dragging sensation, accompanied by referred pain in the lower abdomen and groin area. The pain becomes more pronounced when the patient is standing or walking. Patients are advised to take oral Chinese medicine diuretic and anti-inflammatory pills and drink plenty of water daily, while maintaining good lifestyle habits. Epididymitis tends to recur, requiring long-term medication. Additionally, it is important to control sexual activity and maintain a positive mood.
