Patient's question:
I originally had epididymitis and got circumcised, and it's been three days now. The past two days, I barely slept at night and it's really unbearable. With epididymitis, will taking estrogen prevent erections from causing problems? Can I take it?Doctor's answer:
After circumcision surgery, if the penis frequently becomes erect, it may lead to the incision opening and interfere with wound healing. You can take estrogen medication in sufficient quantity to suppress erections. If you have epididymitis, you can take estrogen as long as it doesn't interfere with long-term use. Pay attention to rest, maintain good hygiene of the external genitalia, sterilize immediately after urination, avoid all factors that can cause penile erection, drink plenty of water, avoid spicy foods, and abstain from smoking and alcohol. Recovery will be quick.Epididymitis is prone to recurrence, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is essential to seek medical attention at a professional and reputable hospital immediately. Treatment should be considered based on examination results. Additionally, pay attention to a proper diet and avoid sexual activity.
