Patient's question:
For three months, I have been treating epididymitis, which has been swollen with a dull pain. Sometimes, the head of the epididymis feels like it's being torn. How should this be treated?Doctor's answer:
It is a typical manifestation of chronic epididymitis. Recommendation: Pay attention to personal hygiene in daily life, change underwear and underpants frequently, and maintain cleanliness and dryness in the perineal area. Treatment should still be based on anti-infection therapy, but it is important to note that treatment should be continuous, regular, and sufficient throughout the entire process. The condition of epididymitis tends to recur, requiring long-term medication treatment. Moreover, for male patients, it is important to seek medical attention promptly at professional and reputable hospitals, and treatment should be considered based on examination results. Additionally, pay attention to a proper diet and avoid sexual activity.
