Patient's question:
I feel a sore and sensation in my waist, and it's also in my testicles. It's been three years. Sometimes it's normal, and sometimes it's uncomfortable. Maybe it depends on the time. I used to go to the hospital for a thorough check-up in the urology department, including the kidneys, ureters, vas deferens, and prostate. Everything was normal, except that there was a very slight case of epididymitis. The doctor said it would resolve on its own, but I still suggest taking antibiotics to reduce inflammation. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Consider that the pain and discomfort you are experiencing may be caused by epididymitis. It is recommended that you take levofloxacin capsules orally for anti-inflammatory treatment. After taking the medication for one week, you should visit the urology department of a hospital for a check-up. During the treatment period, avoid spicy foods and sexual activity. The testicles can be stabilized, but the treatment process is generally slow, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is crucial to use medication that targets your specific symptoms during treatment. Additionally, it is advisable to adopt a healthy lifestyle and maintain a balanced diet during the treatment period.
