What should I do if I have epididymitis after urinating with urethral stricture?

Patient's question:

A catheter is inserted into the urethra due to urethral stricture. Now, epididymitis has reappeared again. How should it be treated? Can the catheter still be used with focus?

Doctor's answer:

It can be treated with antibiotics. After suppressing inflammation with treatment, it is best to undergo stent surgery for treatment. It is essential to drink plenty of water regularly and conduct follow-up checks periodically. For patients with epididymitis, timely treatment can reduce the incidence of the disease. If it is not treated in a timely manner, it will affect health conditions. Therefore, patients should take medication promptly according to their symptoms and maintain a regular lifestyle in daily life to avoid prolonged sitting.
