Patient's question:
Treatment of Epididymitis? Which hospital should I go to for epididymitis? How to prevent epididymitis?Doctor's answer:
Hello! Epididymitis is a common disease among young and middle-aged adults. Whenever the body's resistance weakens, pathogenic bacteria such as Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus, and Streptococcus take the opportunity to enter the vas deferens and reverse into the epididymis, causing inflammation. Therefore, this condition often follows secondary urethritis, prostatitis, and seminal vesiculitis. It is recommended to seek medical attention at a formal Grade III-A hospital for follow-up treatment. Rest in bed, and using a scrotal support can alleviate symptoms. A specially designed scrotal support with a cotton pad is more comfortable to wear. For severe pain, pain relievers can be used. Local heat therapy can relieve symptoms and promote inflammation resolution.
