Patient's question:
The day before yesterday, I went to bed and had pain in my testicles. At the children's hospital, the doctor examined them and said it was epididymitis. Then I received three days of intravenous drips and took medication. Now, the testicles don't hurt when touched, but the upper part of both testicles (previously only one had epididymitis), it's really uncomfortable. I want to ask if epididymitis can be treated with traditional Chinese medicine?Doctor's answer:
Patients with epididymitis should take medication on schedule and maintain a healthy lifestyle and diet. During treatment, smoking and drinking beer are prohibited, as well as consuming spicy, irritating, or easily irritating foods. Pay attention to protecting the affected area to prevent it from being compressed or bumped. Intercourse is strictly forbidden during treatment. In the early stages of severe symptoms, it is advisable to rest in bed and avoid strenuous activities. In the later stages, when symptoms have fully recovered and are mild, light walking is appropriate. Chinese herbal diuretic and anti-inflammatory pills can be used, and it is recommended to drink plenty of water. Additionally, smoking and drinking should be avoided, and personal hygiene should be maintained.
