Patient's question:
Why can't people with epididymitis smoke? It's just that my several good buddies told me that people with epididymitis can't smoke, so I want to ask, why is that? And what are the general reasons that lead to this disease? How can it be prevented? Are there any comprehensive prevention and treatment methods?Doctor's answer:
Epididymitis is generally caused by inflammation and infection. Smoking is harmful to human health, and it can also easily excite the nervous system, potentially stimulating the excretion of inflammatory substances. Therefore, it can worsen epididymitis. Patients with epididymitis not only should not smoke but also avoid drinking beer, as both can affect the condition. During treatment, sexual activity must be strictly prohibited. The condition of epididymitis tends to recur, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is important to actively seek diagnosis from professional and reputable hospitals and consider treatment based on thorough examination results. Additionally, it is necessary to quit smoking and drinking, maintain good personal hygiene, and finally, wish all patients a speedy recovery.
