Patient's question:
A few days ago, when I went to the hospital for epididymitis, the first day was extremely painful, and I couldn't even stand up. After 8 days of intravenous treatment, the symptoms significantly improved. Only the epididymis was slightly larger than before, and it felt a bit uncomfortable when squeezed. I want to ask if, after a few more days of treatment, will the condition still be lingering, or will it be completely healed?Doctor's answer:
The patient with epididymitis has shown improvement after active antibiotic treatment, but there is still tenderness in the epididymis. In this case, further strengthening of the antibiotic treatment is necessary. The course of antibiotic treatment for epididymitis should be at least 7 to 14 days, and at the same time, blood-activating and stasis-resolving drugs can be used for treatment, which is beneficial for the resolution of swollen nodules. Epididymitis can be relieved, but the treatment period is generally long, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor's medication plan during treatment. Additionally, it is recommended to maintain a healthy lifestyle and have a proper diet during the treatment period.
