Antibiotics are beneficial for treating epididymitis, and the choice of antibiotics should be determined based on bacterial culture and drug sensitivity tests. Commonly used medications include co-trimoxazole, norfloxacin, ciprofloxacin, and other third and fourth-generation quinolone and cephalosporin drugs, which have good efficacy against epididymitis. For acute epididymitis, it is recommended that patients rest in bed, support the scrotum to reduce pain. In the early stage, an ice pack can be placed on the epididymis to prevent swelling. In the later stage, cold compress can be used to improve local blood circulation and accelerate the resolution of inflammation. Since it involves infection, anti-infection treatment should be implemented.
