Patient's question:
My husband has had prostatitis for a while, and I'm worried it might cause epididymitis. Does prostatitis lead to epididymitis?Doctor's answer:
Generally, prostatitis may also lead to the recurrence of epididymitis, so it is important to pay attention to safety and monitor for symptoms such as pain or frequent urination. Do not be overly stressed and ensure you take care to prevent colds and stay hydrated. Monitor for symptoms like frequent urination or abdominal pain. However, if there is an infectious inflammation, medication should be arranged promptly, such as antibiotics. Avoid sexual activity for the next few days.
