Patient's question:
Left epididymitis, getting bigger and more painful, over two days, prescribed anti-inflammatory medication, why doesn't it seem to be working?Doctor's answer:
The consideration is that the possibility of acute epididymitis is high. Currently, Cephalosporin and Levofloxacin have already been used, which means it is already a dual-drug regimen. In this case, focus on medication treatment. Then, it is necessary to rest more and maintain a light diet. Additionally, sexual activity is strictly prohibited, as well as smoking and drinking alcohol, as part of the treatment. Epididymitis is prone to recurrence, requiring long-term medication treatment. For male patients, it is important to actively seek medical treatment at professional and regular hospitals. Treatment should be considered based on examination results. Moreover, proper diet and avoiding sexual activity should be paid attention to.
