Patient's question:

I want to ask how to deal with epididymitis that hasn't improved after taking antibiotics for more than half a month. For a long time, I've been woken up at night by the need to urinate, and after going to the bathroom, I experience abdominal pain that makes it difficult to fall back asleep. What should I do?

Doctor's answer:

Mainly manifested as abnormal urination, abdominal abnormalities, a sense of lower abdominal fullness and swelling, caused by abnormal inflammatory decomposition metabolism. The treatment method is essentially anti-inflammatory, and the therapeutic effect is not very ideal. Currently, clinical diagnosis generally adopts a combination of Chinese and Western medicine for treatment. It is also important for patients to pay attention to a balance between rest and activity, and to avoid holding urine. Epididymitis can be stabilized, but the treatment period is usually long, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, it is crucial to actively cooperate with the doctor's medication plan. Additionally, patients should maintain a light diet, avoid foods, and not smoke or drink beer.
