Patient's question:
I have epididymitis, and the medication hasn't been very effective. What treatment methods can be more effective?Doctor's answer:
The causes of orchitis include long-term indwelling catheters, phimosis, urinary tract infections, urethral dilation, and unclean sexual practices, among others. The key to treating epididymitis is active symptomatic treatment and proactive prevention to prevent the recurrence of the causative factors. Pay attention to the hygiene of the external genitalia, avoid spicy foods, quit smoking and alcohol, and ensure adequate rest. However, if the condition still recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended after conception. Epididymitis tends to recur, requiring long-term medication.
