What should I do if epididymitis doesn't respond well to many medications?

Patient's question:

I have had epididymitis for more than a year. I have taken many medications, but they haven't been very effective. Recently, the doctor prescribed me Diuretic Anti-inflammatory Pills. After taking two courses, I feel a bit better. I want to ask if I should continue taking this medicine diligently?

Doctor's answer:

With epididymitis, after general treatment, it is likely to leave behind localized hard swelling that does not completely subside. If there is no obvious pain or swelling now, it can be considered to stop medication. Of course, if there is still pain, it should still be considered to focus on medication again. Epididymitis can be stabilized, but the treatment period is generally long, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, medication should be used according to symptoms. Additionally, patients should avoid sitting or riding for long periods and pay more attention to personal hygiene.
