Patient's question:
During the 9-day intravenous treatment for epididymitis, the swelling has reduced significantly and the pain has disappeared, although there is still some discomfort. During this period, I continued to smoke. Could several such treatments completely cure it? Does smoking significantly interfere with epididymitis?Doctor's answer:
For the treatment of epididymitis, clinical diagnosis is based on anti-inflammatory and local treatment. The treatment of acute epididymitis generally takes 7-10 days to heal. The treatment time for chronic epididymitis depends on the specific condition of the patient. As long as the treatment is timely and appropriate, it can usually heal quickly and the treatment effect is also relatively good. To heal quickly, it is still necessary to seek treatment in professional and large hospitals. Epididymitis can be relieved, but the treatment time is generally long, and it is prone to relapse after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment, use medication appropriately, and also recommend developing good lifestyle habits and proper diet during the treatment period.
