Patient's question:
Doctor, I want to know how to treat epididymitis. I've been feeling itchy and painful in my lower abdomen recently, especially my testicles, which are very itchy, apart from being swollen. I went to the hospital for a thorough examination, and the doctor said I have epididymitis. I'm very worried about whether this condition will affect my sexual function and future fertility?Doctor's answer:
Hello, epididymitis is a common disease. When the body's resistance is weakened, pathogenic bacteria can enter the fallopian tubes, thereby causing inflammation. I suggest that patients should pay attention to rest and can adopt local heat therapy, which can effectively relieve pain and promote the resolution of inflammation. You can take antibacterial drugs regularly to prevent the condition from becoming chronic. Surgical treatment can be used when necessary. Regulate physical and mental health, maintain personal hygiene, and avoid bacterial invasion due to weakened resistance.
