Patient's question:
A colleague has epididymitis. Currently, there is understanding of the treatment, but he is still a bit worried about his condition, not knowing whether it will continue to worsen even with understanding of the treatment. So I want to ask, consult, under what circumstances does epididymitis require surgery?Doctor's answer:
If epididymitis causes recurrent nodules in the epididymis or large cysts, it is necessary to promptly seek surgical treatment at a relevant hospital. If left untreated, it may lead to epididymal tumors. If a person has epididymitis, they can take some antibacterial medications such as levofloxacin capsules, sparfloxacin, etc. If necessary, they should go to the hospital for surgical removal or laser treatment. The condition of epididymitis is prone to recurrence, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is important to seek medical attention at a professional and reputable hospital promptly. Treatment should be considered based on the results of thorough examinations. Additionally, it is important to quit smoking and drinking, maintain personal hygiene, and finally, wish all patients a speedy recovery.
