Patient's question:
Hello doctor, I am a 34-year-old male. Yesterday, I was carefully diagnosed with epididymitis at the hospital. Now I want to treat my illness, so I would like to ask first how long does it take to cure epididymitis with intravenous infusion? Will treating this disease be very expensive?Doctor's answer:
Epididymitis is primarily caused by infections in the urinary system, which spread through the vas deferens to the epididymis. The main symptoms include swelling and pain in the scrotum. For the treatment of epididymitis, additional antibiotic medications are primarily used. Generally, intravenous fluids are required for about 1 to 2 weeks, followed by oral antibiotics for 2 to 4 weeks to prevent the development of chronic epididymitis. Finally, wish you a speedy recovery.
