Patient's question:
I have had male epididymitis for almost some time now. But I haven't paid much attention to this disease. What are the hazards of lower epididymitis?Doctor's answer:
Epididymitis is primarily divided into two types: acute and chronic. Acute inflammation is usually caused by local infection, while chronic epididymitis is mainly a result of delayed symptomatic treatment during the acute phase. Some patients may also experience recurrent episodes due to neglecting healthy lifestyle habits, leading to weakened local immunity and repeated flare-ups. Patients should take oral Chinese medicine diuretic and anti-inflammatory pills, drink plenty of water daily, and avoid greasy foods. It is important for patients to receive timely symptomatic treatment and pay close attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods.
