Patient's question:
Got epididymitis, more than a month now. It's either saline irrigation for inflammation or medication. Still no improvement. The doctor said it won't get better quickly. Today I went to the hospital to check my urine, and surprisingly, there was blood. The previous tests were fine. I feel a bit of lower back pain. What could be the cause?Doctor's answer:
Hello: Epididymitis tends to recur easily, so treatment must be thorough. Traditional Chinese Medicine methods can be considered.The basic formula consists of: Polygonum multiflorum 20g, Prunella vulgaris 10g, Smilax glabra 10g, Myroxylon fragrans 10g, Acronycum 10g, Ligusticum chuanxiong 10g, Paeonia lactiflora 10g, Persicae Semen 10g, Angelica sinensis 10g. If the tongue is red with yellow greasy coating and the pulse is slippery or rapid, add Talc 10g, Verbenae 10g, and Lonicera japonica 10g. If there is insufficient kidney yin, remove Smilax glabra and Prunella vulgaris, and add Rehmanniae Radix preparata 20g, Dendrobii Caulis 10g, and Dipsaci Radix 10g. Take one dose daily, divided into two servings, each 150ml.
Boil the dregs to make 500ml of decoction for local application and washing, combined with local physical therapy. Treat for 10 days as one course, and observe for 3 to 6 courses. Clinical observation and statistics show a total effective rate of 92.6%, with an average course duration of 3.2 days.
