Patient's question:
I have had chronic epididymitis for two years. I visited many hospitals, but the treatment results were not very good. At a traditional Chinese medicine hospital, I was prescribed a course of anti-inflammatory and diuretic pills. After finishing the course, I noticed that the symptoms of urgency and dysuria improved significantly. When I went for a re-examination, I found that my condition had also improved considerably. I focused on taking the medicine for about a year, and then went for another re-examination, where it was said that it had already been cured, but it was recommended to continue taking it for an additional month to consolidate the effect. I want to know if it is necessary?Doctor's answer:
A 26-year-old male was previously diagnosed with chronic orchitis. After repeated treatments, his condition has significantly improved. Chronic orchitis is inherently a difficult disease to treat, and achieving good therapeutic effects through treatment is indeed rare. Given the high difficulty of treatment, doctors recommend implementing a stable treatment plan, which is very necessary. However, the treatment period is generally long, and the disease is prone to relapse after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment, use medication appropriately, and avoid prolonged sitting or riding. Additionally, patients should pay close attention to personal hygiene.
