Patient's question:
I recently don't know what's going on, my lower body is very uncomfortable, and I'm not getting morning erections anymore. How can I relieve the hidden pain after getting an epididymitis shot?Doctor's answer:
Hello, according to your description, epididymitis is generally considered in traditional Chinese medicine to be caused by factors such as damp-heat accumulation, phlegm-dampness, and blood stasis obstructing the local Qi and blood flow. The treatment suggestion is to combine Chinese and Western medicine for better results. Use Polygonum cuspidatum, selfheal, boswellia, ligusticum, white peony root, angelica sinensis, kelp, and laminaria in decoction, combined with oral antibiotic treatment. For your condition, it may be orchitis, which is usually caused by bacteria and viruses. Orchitis itself rarely occurs due to bacterial infection, as the testes have a rich blood and lymphatic supply, making them highly resistant to bacterial infections. Most bacterial orchitis is caused by inflammation of the adjacent epididymis. It is recommended to use intravenous antibiotics for treatment.
