Patient's question:
Epididymitis. Is Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) more effective than Western medicine? I went to the hospital for a thorough examination, and the doctor prescribed Blue Gentian Oral Liquid, Anti-inflammatory and Blood Activating Capsules, and Scutellaria Stem and Leaf Capsules. After taking them for a week, there was no improvement.Doctor's answer:
Based on your description, it is likely that you have epididymitis, which can be treated and stabilized. The medication you mentioned is generally used to stabilize inflammation. Pay attention to hygiene, avoid spicy and irritating foods, and be aware that Western medications may develop tolerance in patients with epididymitis. Timely treatment can reduce the likelihood of recurrence. If left untreated, it may affect your health. Therefore, patients should take medication according to their symptoms and avoid overexertion in daily life while maintaining good personal hygiene. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
