Patient's question:
I have had epididymitis for three years now, and it keeps getting worse despite treatment. It's extremely painful. When it improves slightly, it flares up again. So, last month it flared up, and I went to a top-tier hospital for a thorough examination. They prescribed me many medications. Now, the pain has subsided, but there's still some swelling and discomfort. Is the feeling of heaviness or dragging severe?Doctor's answer:
Healing from illness doesn't mean the job is done once recovery begins. Whether during treatment or after recovery, it's important to take good care of your body to ensure the disease doesn't return. Drink plenty of water, eat less spicy and irritating food, consume more vegetables and fruits, and pay attention to rest. For patients with epididymitis, timely treatment can reduce the likelihood of recurrence. If left untreated, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should seek timely medical treatment and pay close attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods.
