Patient's question:
Last December, the hospital conducted a thorough examination and diagnosed it as epididymitis. I took Qianmaoping capsules for two weeks, but the lumps on my two testicles didn't disappear. My mom kept saying it was getting better, so I started eating a lot of spicy and greasy foods (like spicy sticks, k, and snails) and had sex many times. Recently, I noticed that the lumps on my testicles have grown larger and become harder. Now, what should I do? 1. Is this condition easy to treat? 2. What medicine should I take?Doctor's answer:
You mentioned that you have epididymitis that wasn't fully treated and have been eating recklessly. Besides sexual activity, epididymitis can be treated with oral anti-inflammatory medications. In your case, the condition hasn't improved despite treatment and is likely to become chronic. It is recommended that you seek timely treatment. For patients with epididymitis, timely treatment can reduce the likelihood of recurrence. If left untreated, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should take oral medication promptly and pay close attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
