Patient's question:
I have had epididymitis for nearly two years. I have been to many urology hospitals for thorough examination and treatment, but there has been no significant improvement. The testicles are very painful. Recently, I took traditional Chinese medicine and feel a bit better now. I would like to ask what are the advantages of traditional Chinese medicine compared to Western medicine?Doctor's answer:
According to what you mentioned, epididymitis also has multiple different situations. 1, Epididymitis is also a condition with multiple different situations. What tests have you done? Are the results still available? You did mycoplasma culture, but have you been able to send me the results to take a look? 2, If the epididymitis is caused by infection, you need to choose a urinary antibiotic treatment based on the culture results, and the course of treatment needs to be sufficient. If it is due to other reasons, traditional Chinese medicine may be effective. Epididymitis is prone to recurrence, and long-term medication treatment is required. Moreover, for male patients, it is necessary to seek medical treatment immediately in a professional and regular hospital. Treatment should be considered based on the test results. Also, pay attention to restricting sexual activity and maintaining a good mood.
