Patient's question:
Doctor, hello, I am 43 years old, male, and was diagnosed with epididymitis six months ago. I have been taking medication for treatment, and the condition has been well-controlled. However, it has recently worsened, causing approximately cross pain. What should I do about the cross pain from epididymitis?Doctor's answer:
To actively cooperate with the doctor in treating pain, you can take blood-activating medications or apply local cold compresses to alleviate symptoms, promote the absorption and subsidence of inflammation. You can also use a scrotal support to hold the scrotum, which helps reduce symptoms. Rest in bed during this period and cooperate with the use of antibacterial medications for treatment. Avoid prolonged sitting or standing, eat less spicy and irritating foods, and quit smoking and drinking.For patients with epididymitis, timely treatment can reduce the risk of recurrence. If left untreated, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should take medication according to their symptoms and pay attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
