Patient's question:
How much does it cost to treat epididymitis in a specialized hospital? How should male epididymitis be treated effectively? I have had left epididymitis for 2 years. Usually, it doesn't cause much discomfort, but sometimes it suddenly becomes very painful. I want to know how to treat it conservatively? How can epididymitis be treated conservatively?Doctor's answer:
Epididymitis is the most common disease among young men. When the body's resistance is weakened, pathogens such as staphylococcus, E. coli, and streptococcus take the opportunity to enter the vas deferens and retrogress into the epididymis, causing epididymitis. Acute epididymitis should be treated with appropriate rest, antibiotics, and general analgesics. Local measures include cold compresses, physical therapy, and using a scrotal support to hold the scrotum in place. It is necessary to advise men not to blindly use medications or employ improper treatment methods for the sake of "saving money." On a daily basis, avoid consuming spicy and irritating foods, and try to quit the habit of drinking beer to eliminate the source of internal damp-heat.
