Patient's question:
Got epididymitis for a while.Doctor's answer:
How to treat epididymitis in Xi'an? Nowadays, many male friends suffer from epididymitis, which is a common reproductive infectious disease in men. This condition can affect a man's sexual function, and some may even lose their sexual ability due to it. The quality of sperm is also affected, leading to infertility in many cases.1. Treatment for acute epididymitis: Generally, bed rest is recommended. Using a scrotal support can alleviate symptoms, and a homemade scrotal support with a cotton pad is more comfortable. Severe pain can be relieved with pain medication. Local heat therapy can ease symptoms and promote inflammation resolution. However, early heat therapy may worsen pain and risk spreading the infection, so ice packs should be used for local cold compresses in the early stages. Sexual activity and physical labor can exacerbate the infection, so they should be avoided.
2. Treatment for chronic epididymitis: For chronic epididymitis, medication alone may not be effective, and heat therapy is also necessary. Epididymitis recurring due to chronic prostatitis may consider being tied off before treatment. It is recommended to seek examination and treatment at a regular hospital, as the costs are uniformly regulated by the state and are relatively secure in all aspects.
