What are the best treatments for epididymitis?

Epididymitis is more common in men and is prone to sudden onset, often with symptoms such as persistent high fever. Many patients are completely unaware of the infection when they first develop it, and once the disease breaks out, they become at a loss, not knowing how to treat it in order to recover faster. Next, let's take a look at the clinical treatment measures for epididymitis.

1. Western medicine treatment: If the patient sees a doctor within 24 hours of onset, 1% procaine 20ml or lidocaine local anesthetic is used to infiltrate the spermatic cord above the testicle, which may completely relieve the disease. The body temperature usually drops rapidly, the pain can disappear completely, and the inflammatory mass can be absorbed within a few days, otherwise it usually takes 2 to 3 weeks to absorb. Antibiotics are helpful for treatment, and secondary cystitis will be cured quickly. The choice of antibiotics should be determined by bacterial culture and drug sensitivity tests. Commonly used drugs include cotrimoxazole, norfloxacin, ofloxacin and other quinolone and cephalosporin drugs, all of which have good therapeutic effects.

2. Chinese medicine treatment: Take 12g each of Sanguisorba officinalis and Dioscorea bulbifera, decoct with water, take 1 dose per day. Take 10g each of Fennel, Codonopsis pilosula, Eucommia ulmoides, and Luffa scoparia, decoct with water, take 1 dose per day. Take 18g of Herba Spatholobi and 15g of Cimicifuga heracleifolia, decoct with water, take 1 dose per day. Take 30g of Fresh Herba Ligustici amara, decoct with water, take 1 dose per day. Or you can apply it externally: grind 7 peppercorns into powder, mix with white flour into a paste, spread on the green peel, and apply it. Take an appropriate amount of fresh verbena, mash it and apply it to the affected area, twice a day. Take an appropriate amount of Seven-leafed Aster root, grind it into powder, mix it with wine or vinegar into a paste, and apply it to the affected area, twice a day. Take 4 sword beans and an appropriate amount of white vinegar. Mash the sword beans, mix with vinegar, and apply it to the affected area several times a day.

Both of these treatments are clinically effective, but patients cannot use the above drugs for treatment on their own, so as to avoid side effects due to improper use of the drugs. In addition, the editor strongly recommends that patients strictly control their sexual life during the medication treatment period, otherwise their sexual partners may also be infected with bacteria.
