Patient's question:
At 16, I had epididymitis and took medication for a week, then the doctor changed the medication and prescribed these two types. What other medication can I take?Doctor's answer:
Medication can be taken when it's time, the key is whether your orchitis has improved now. Besides not having swelling or pain, can you have a re-examination to check? Orchitis is generally based on anti-inflammatory treatment, which can be treated with physical therapy. Usually, medication for about a week is sufficient. You can have a re-examination now to decide on medication. Epididymitis tends to recur frequently, requiring long-term medication treatment. For male patients, it's important to immediately go to a professional and regular hospital for diagnosis. Treatment should be considered based on examination results. Also, pay attention to quitting smoking and drinking, and maintaining personal hygiene.
