Patient's question:
Right testicle pain for over five or six days, then went to the hospital for an examination and was prescribed levofloxacin. It has been several months now, and the problem of difficulty in achieving an erection or not getting an erection when it should occur keeps recurring. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
It may be due to orchitis or epididymitis affecting sexual function, leading to erectile dysfunction and decreased libido. It is recommended to undergo a re-examination at a regular hospital's urology department, use antibacterial and anti-inflammatory medications promptly for comprehensive treatment, and also use drugs to stabilize sexual function. Avoid tension, relax your mind, and enhance physical exercise. Testicular conditions are prone to recurrence, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is necessary to seek medical treatment at a professional and regular hospital immediately, and treatment should be considered based on examination results. Additionally, it is important to restrict sexual activity and maintain a positive mood.
