Patient's question:
I had acute epididymitis before I was 18, and it hasn't flared up for more than four years. Everything has been fine, but recently, sitting for long periods sometimes causes a dull pain in the epididymis for a short while, and occasionally a dull pain in the groin area as well. It happens about three or four times a day. Last week, I went to the city hospital, and the doctor examined my epididymis and testicles and said my testicles were small.Doctor's answer:
Your symptoms may be caused by epididymitis, and the treatment is recommended to combine traditional Chinese and Western medicine. Use polygonum, selfheal, boswellia, ligusticum, white peony root, poria, kelp, and laminaria in decoction, combined with oral antibiotics for treatment. If it is non-bacterial chronic prostatitis, traditional Chinese medicine treatment is the only method. If it is bacterial chronic prostatitis with severe bacterial infection, then integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine treatment should be adopted. After using Yin Tai Xin Tong, a patient no longer experienced frequent urination at night.For severe prostatitis patients, it is recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible and follow the doctor's advice for timely treatment. Avoid blindly relying on advertisements or over-the-counter medications, as this may worsen the condition.
