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, which weakens local immunity and leads to repeated flare-ups. Patients should take oral traditional Chinese medicine diuretic and anti-inflammatory pills, drink plenty of water daily, and avoid greasy foods. Therefore, patients need to receive timely symptomatic treatment and pay close attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods.
