Patient's question:
I have epididymitis, but I've never paid attention to this condition before. I've been feeling a bit uncomfortable lately and plan to treat this disease. I was wondering if there are any explanations about Chinese herbal medicine for treating epididymitis?Doctor's answer:
It is caused by a weakened immune system, making it easy for pathogenic bacteria to enter the vas deferens when the body is in a poor state, and then reverse flow into the epididymis, leading to a recurrence of inflammation. Epididymitis is often secondary to urethritis, prostatitis, or seminal vesiculitis. If a patient contracts candidal urethritis, delayed treatment can also lead to a recurrence of epididymitis. Patients with epididymitis should take Chinese herbal diuretic and anti-inflammatory pills, and it is recommended to drink more water and avoid frequent overtime work. For patients with epididymitis, timely treatment can reduce recurrence and prevent spicy foods.
