Patient's question:
How can I know if my epididymitis has healed? I have been taking levofloxacin hydrochloride for 3 days, and the epididymis is still the same size. However, it no longer hurts when it droops downward, and I don't feel any discomfort, except for a slight pain when I gently press the epididymis.Am I considered healed now? How many more days do I need to take anti-inflammatory medication? When can I resume sexual activity? How long will it take for the epididymis to shrink or disappear?
Doctor's answer:
You are currently in the peak period of sexual activity again at your age, and nocturnal emissions are a normal phenomenon. There is no need for your wife to worry excessively, unless the emissions are very frequent. Otherwise, the interference to you is very minimal. Your erection hardness is not yet sufficient, which should be due to insufficient stimulation. If you enhance the stimulation, your erection hardness will improve. We hope you feel relieved.For those with nocturnal emissions, timely treatment can reduce the frequency of episodes. If left untreated, it may affect your physical condition. Therefore, patients should take medication promptly and avoid overexertion in daily life while paying attention to personal hygiene.
