What should I do if the left epididymitis recurs and the testicles are red?

Patient's question:

Last time I went to the hospital, it was for epididymitis. This time, even without a cold, I'm sick again. What could be the reason? What should the doctor do?

Doctor's answer:

Treatment of Epididymitis. It is necessary to use antibiotics that can easily diffuse and penetrate the male reproductive tract, such as erythromycin, doxycycline, and clindamycin. After the symptoms of the acute phase subside, medication should still be used for 4-5 days. In chronic cases, treatment should be maintained for 2-4 weeks to ensure the effectiveness of the treatment. For patients with epididymitis, timely treatment can reduce the risk of recurrence. If treatment is not timely, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should take oral medication promptly and maintain regular sexual activity in daily life to avoid prolonged sitting.
