Patient's question:
Doctor, I have had epididymitis for almost three years. I have been to many hospitals for treatment, but it hasn't been very effective. Later, the doctor suggested I try to see if it would work better. It really has been a bit better than before. I would like to ask how long it might take to completely cure this medicine?Doctor's answer:
Testicular inflammation is usually caused by damp-heat accumulation. Treatment generally involves clearing heat and draining dampness. If you take Diuretic and Anti-inflammatory Pills and find it effective, you need to take it with focus. Traditional Chinese medicine generally follows a course-by-course treatment approach. Typically, 3-6 courses are required. Maintain a light diet, avoid drinking beer, and do not eat spicy or irritating foods. For patients with epididymitis, timely treatment can reduce recurrence. If left untreated, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should seek timely and symptomatic treatment.
