What should I do if I have epididymitis?

Patient's question:

Very urgent, I found out that I have been diagnosed with epididymitis. This disease is something I really haven't encountered much before. I want to ask what should I do if I have epididymitis?

Doctor's answer:

Epididymitis is a relatively common condition, and many factors can lead to its recurrence. Epididymitis can occur on both sides or on one side again. When the epididymis becomes inflamed, it can have a certain impact on fertility. Although unilateral epididymitis has a minor effect on fertility, bilateral epididymitis requires attention, as the epididymis plays a very important role in fertility. Epididymitis can be relieved, but the treatment period is generally long, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment and use medication appropriately.
