Patient's question:
I'm a bit confused about what's causing my epididymitis, and I've been actively treating it recently. I'd like to ask whether epididymitis should be treated with Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) or Western medicine?Doctor's answer:
Chronic epididymitis, when this disease recurs, the patient will experience symptoms of scrotal pain again. This symptom becomes more pronounced after heavy physical labor. Additionally, patients with chronic epididymitis may also experience significant scrotal pain after sexual stimulation. Everyone should pay special attention to this in daily life. Epididymitis can be relieved, but the treatment period is generally long, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, medication must be used according to the symptoms. Additionally, patients should maintain a light diet, avoid foods, and not smoke or drink beer.
