Patient's question:
How to treat epididymitis. Treatment for epididymitisDoctor's answer:
Chronic epididymitis may not yield ideal results with medication alone. In addition to using effective broad-spectrum antibiotics, local cold compresses and other physical therapies are also very necessary. The local application of berberine or neomycin through iontophoresis can also be considered for the epididymis. If chronic prostatitis is present, it must be treated concurrently. Recurrent epididymitis originating from chronic prostatitis may be considered for vasectomy before further treatment. For some recurrent cases, epididymectomy may also be considered. Epididymitis tends to recur, requiring long-term oral medication.
