Patient's question:
Patient Gender: MalePlease ask what medication is effective for chronic epididymitis caused by chronic prostatitis. The doctor said Western medicine treatment is not ideal, and I would like to try some traditional Chinese medicine. Which medicine is effective?
Doctor's answer:
Hello! Do you have any discomfort symptoms? Chronic epididymitis is often a result of acute epididymitis in some patients, but most patients have no history of acute episodes and often have chronic prostatitis. A few patients experience recurrent acute attacks. Chronic epididymitis generally has no obvious symptoms, and clinical manifestations are quite inconsistent. It may include local discomfort, a sense of heaviness or fullness, testicular pain, which can radiate to the lower abdomen and the same side of the thigh. Examination may reveal enlargement of the affected epididymis, mild tenderness with clear demarcation from the testis, and no thickening of the spermatic cord. Bilateral epididymitis can cause obstruction of the seminal tract, leading to male infertility. Treatment primarily focuses on addressing the underlying cause. For recurrent cases, epididymectomy may be considered. We recommend that you seek a formal hospital for a clear diagnosis and timely treatment to avoid delaying the condition. Urological experts.
