Epididymitis Symptoms and Treatment Methods
Epididymitis refers to the enlargement of the epididymis caused by infections such as bacteria and viruses, accompanied by pain. Some patients may notice swelling of the scrotal skin and even an increase in skin temperature.
For this condition, it is necessary to use antibiotics in a timely manner. If the epididymitis is caused by bacterial infection, quinolone antibiotics or cephalosporin antibiotics can be used for treatment, generally requiring medication for one to two weeks. If the symptoms are severe, it is advisable to administer antibiotics intravenously for better results. If it is caused by a viral infection, antiviral medications are needed.
During treatment, it is important to rest in bed as much as possible and to keep the scrotum elevated to facilitate local blood circulation. Dietary considerations should include eating lighter foods and avoiding spicy and irritating foods.
(The use of medication should be under the guidance of a doctor.)
