Patient's question:
I have had epididymitis for more than half a year. I often feel severe pain under the testicles. Sometimes my urine is yellow and has a bad smell. I went to the hospital and took a lot of medicine, but it didn't work. Later, I took Chinese medicine Diuretic and Anti-inflammatory Pills, and after about 2 months, I noticeably felt that the symptoms reduced. I want to ask if taking Chinese medicine for epididymitis is more effective?Doctor's answer:
You have been treated for epididymitis with several medications, and you feel that traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has been effective. You have seen positive results. Yes, TCM is indeed effective. Its effectiveness for chronic conditions is much better than that of Western medicine. It has fewer side effects. Especially for epididymitis, its effect is very good. Persist with the medication. For patients with epididymitis, timely treatment can reduce the incidence of the condition. If left untreated in a timely manner, it can affect your health. Therefore, patients should seek timely and symptomatic treatment, and maintain a regular sex life in daily life to avoid prolonged sitting.
