Patient's question:
I have always been in good health and rarely catch colds or fevers. Last week, I suddenly experienced lower abdominal pain and severe testicular pain. After a thorough examination at the hospital, the doctor said I had acute epididymitis. Therefore, I would like to ask our doctors if epididymitis can be treated.Doctor's answer:
Generally, epididymitis is caused by bacterial infection. If you get epididymitis, it is important to seek timely treatment. Antibiotics are usually used for treatment. During the treatment period, it is essential to get plenty of rest, avoid fatigue and staying up late, and minimize prolonged sitting. Pay attention to maintaining a calm and stable mood, preventing excessive stress. Drinking more water and eating less spicy and irritating food are also recommended. Epididymitis can be relieved, but the treatment period is usually long, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, medication should be used according to symptoms during the treatment.
