Patient's question:
I have chronic epididymitis on my left side, which sometimes recurs when I catch a cold. It usually recurs once a year, which really bothers me. I wanted to ask if chronic epididymitis can be cured with traditional Chinese medicine.Doctor's answer:
Epididymitis can lead to numerous complications, and it is essential to seek medical attention early for thorough examination and appropriate treatment. During the treatment period, sexual activity must be strictly prohibited, and patients should rest in bed as much as possible while maintaining a healthy diet. Severe cases of epididymitis may also cause testicular swelling and pain, which can extend to the lower abdomen and inner thighs. Due to the high prevalence and significant harm of this condition, many patients may experience more severe physical harm during daily activities such as standing. Patients should seek timely treatment.
