Patient's question:
I recently don't know what's going on, my lower abdomen is very uncomfortable, and I'm not getting morning erections anymore. Should I consider having an epididymectomy if I have chronic epididymitis?Doctor's answer:
To prevent the protracted course of epididymitis, both acute and chronic cases should be treated thoroughly. Therefore, it is essential to select appropriate antimicrobial drugs, and frequent scrotal heat applications are recommended. Those who stand or walk excessively are advised to wear a cloth scrotal support.What you describe is balanitis, which is often caused by excessive foreskin, phimosis, or poor personal hygiene. It is recommended to receive intravenous antibiotics via infusion, or Ruyi Jin Huang Powder ointment can be applied externally for treatment.
