Patient's question:
，has started acupuncture for 7 days with third-generation cephalosporin. After stopping the acupuncture for 6 days, the symptoms have been recurring. Another 7 days of third-generation cephalosporin acupuncture have been administered, but the effect seems not good. On the 8th day, in addition to the cephalosporin, levofloxacin was also enhanced. Now, the cephalosporin has been administered for 14 days, and levofloxacin for 7 days. How should the treatment be continued next?Doctor's answer:
Epididymitis should pay attention to rest, avoid excessive exercise, and refrain from alcohol and spicy, irritating foods. According to the situation you described, in addition to active anti-inflammatory treatment, it can be considered to complement traditional Chinese medicine internally. Epididymal conditions are prone to recurrence, requiring long-term medication. Moreover, for male patients, it is necessary to seek medical treatment immediately in a professional and regular hospital. Treatment should be considered based on examination results. Additionally, it is important to restrict sexual activity and maintain a good mood.
