Patient's question:
Doctor, I am 30 years old this year. While taking a bath at night, I found that my epididymis was swollen and red, and the scrotal skin was also red. There is a significant pain when lightly pressed. I have frequent urination and urgency. I went to the hospital for a detailed examination, and the doctor said it was acute epididymitis. Hello, is the treatment cost for acute epididymitis expensive?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, the treatment of epididymitis is relatively easy and the cost is not high, mainly consisting of medication expenses. For acute epididymitis, some antibacterial medications such as levofloxacin capsules and sparfloxacin can be taken, while herbal remedies can also be used as supplementary treatment. It is also recommended to avoid excessive sexual activity, maintain good hygiene, and avoid spicy and irritating foods. For patients with epididymitis, timely treatment can reduce the risk of recurrence. If left untreated, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should seek timely symptomatic treatment and pay close attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
