What is the Chinese medicine treatment for epididymitis?

In daily life, due to various reasons, especially frequent unclean sexual intercourse or not paying attention to the hygiene of private parts, it is easy for men to suffer from male diseases such as epididymitis, which will cause certain adverse effects on men's health. Traditional Chinese medicine has some theories on the treatment of epididymitis. The following editor will introduce some effective methods of traditional Chinese medicine for the treatment of epididymitis.

Unilateral testicular enlargement and pain, with the pain radiating to the ipsilateral groin, are the characteristics of bacterial orchitis. The main clinical manifestations of patients are: obvious redness and swelling of the scrotal skin, and significant tenderness; testicular tenderness is so severe that patients refuse to press it. If abscesses form, there may be a sense of fluctuation. If testicular abscesses rupture, it may also cause purulent hydrocele. Patients may also have nausea, vomiting, fever, and chills. Due to the destruction of testicular tissue, some patients may suffer from male infertility after recovery.

Patients with bacterial orchitis should rest in bed and hold up their scrotum. In modern medical treatment, cold or hot compresses are applied locally to the testicles. Cold compresses can relieve pain, and hot compresses can reduce inflammation. When the pain is severe, patients can take painkillers orally. Effective antibiotics should be applied to the whole body, such as penicillin, gentamicin, and various cephalosporins. Traditional Chinese medicine treatment uses Chinese medicine for oral or external application, mainly treating with the methods of clearing the liver and calming fire, clearing heat and promoting diuresis, clearing heat and detoxifying, and harmonizing the body and detoxifying, which has a good effect on controlling infection, eliminating swelling and relieving pain. The basic formula for oral medication is Longdan Xiegan Decoction, which contains 4.5g of gentian, 4.5g of bupleurum, 9g of scutellaria, 9g of phellodendron, 12g of plantain, 9g of zexie, 9g of tangerine seed, and 9g of litchi seed. It is decocted in water and taken once a day, twice a day, in the morning and evening. For those with obvious testicular swelling, golden yellow ointment can be applied externally, once a day, until the symptoms are relieved. If the testicle has abscessed, the pus should be punctured and extracted in time or drainage should be performed by incision; for those with severe testicular tissue damage, orchiectomy on the diseased side should be considered.

For orchitis, it must be taken seriously in the early stage and actively treated. To achieve better treatment results, a combination of Chinese and Western medicine can be used. Under the method of syndrome differentiation and treatment, it can generally make the convergence of several points faster. Men should also pay attention to the hygiene of their private parts and maintain good living habits.
