Patient's question:
I have epididymitisDoctor's answer:
Hello, the traditional methods for treating epididymitis involve the use of antibiotics, pain relievers, and surgical drainage. Antibiotics and pain relievers can temporarily alleviate pain, but they only address symptoms rather than the root cause. Prolonged use can lead to drug resistance in pathogens and cause significant side effects. Particularly for those with chronic epididymitis who experience frequent relapses, sometimes a vasectomy or epididymectomy may be unavoidable.
