Patient's question:
Doctor, I have had chronic epididymitis for nearly two years. I have been to many hospitals in my hometown for medication and treatment, but it hasn't been very effective. The doctor also suggested surgery, but I don't want to. I have been taking the medication for a period of time, and now the swelling in my epididymis has improved. I would like to ask how long I need to take this medication.Doctor's answer:
Chronic epididymitis is first considered to be caused by inflammatory infection, requiring active anti-inflammatory drugs for treatment. It is necessary to take medication according to the prescribed course. Alternatively, traditional Chinese medicine can be chosen for treatment to achieve better therapeutic effects. The condition of epididymitis is prone to recurrence, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is important to seek medical attention promptly at a professional and reputable hospital, and treatment should be considered based on examination results. Additionally, it is necessary to restrict sexual activity and maintain a positive mood.
