Patient's question:
How to deal with chronic epididymitis resistanceDoctor's answer:
Hello, the condition you mentioned, chronic bacterial epididymitis, generally does indeed require further bacterial culture and drug sensitivity tests to determine the most sensitive and effective antibiotics. Sufficient dosage and duration of treatment are necessary for relatively ideal results.Suggestions: Generally, bacterial culture and drug sensitivity tests require digital rectal examination to obtain prostatic fluid for culture and sensitivity testing. If no bacteria are cultured, empirical combination therapy with amoxicillin and levofloxacin is used, followed by halving the dose after 2 weeks for maintenance for 1 week. Sometimes, appropriate traditional Chinese medicine regulation is also needed. In terms of medication, short-term use of α-blockers (e.g., terazosin) can be combined.
In daily life, it is necessary to quit smoking and drinking, avoid spicy foods, avoid masturbation, avoid excessive sexual activity, and avoid local cold exposure.
