Patient's question:
Suffering from acute epididymitis, received intravenous fluids for 5 days, now taking oral anti-inflammatory medication. How long should I take the medication? How long will it take to recover?Doctor's answer:
You have acute orchitis, and after being treated with intravenous ceftriaxone, you are now being treated with oral medication. You are asking how long it will take to completely recover from orchitis. Timely treatment is crucial, and it needs to be fully cured on its own. Therefore, oral medication should only be stopped after the symptoms of the testicles completely subside. The condition of orchitis tends to recur, requiring long-term medication treatment. For male patients, it is necessary to immediately go to a professional and regular hospital for diagnosis. Treatment should be considered based on the results of the examination. Additionally, it is important to quit smoking and drinking, and pay attention to personal hygiene.
