Patient's question:
Hello expert, I would like to understand what are the symptoms of patients with epididymitis. I would appreciate it if you could take a moment to help me clarify this. Thank you! What kind of assistance do you need: What are the symptoms of patients with epididymitis?Doctor's answer:
Treat epididymitis. Use antibiotics that easily diffuse into the male reproductive tract, such as erythromycin, doxycycline, and clindamycin. After the acute symptoms subside, continue medication for an additional 4–5 days. In chronic cases, maintain treatment for 2–4 weeks to ensure the efficacy. Holding the scrotum, local cold compresses, abstaining from sexual activity, avoiding alcohol, tobacco, and spicy foods are all effective measures to prevent exacerbation. Epididymitis can be cured, but the treatment period is generally long, and relapse is common after recovery.
