Get Timely Treatment and Proper Nursing Cares of Epididymitis

Epididymitis is a common reproductive system disease. When the body resistance is low, Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus, Streptococcus, and other pathogenic bacteria will enter the vas deferens, retrograde into the epididymis, causing inflammation. How is epididymitis treated? 1. Treatment of acute epididymitis Bed rest, the application of scrotal support, or homemade cushion support scrotum can reduce symptoms. Local hyperthermia can relieve symptoms and promote inflammation to subside. However, early use of hyperthermia can aggravate the pain and promote the spread of infection. Therefore, it is appropriate to use ice bags for local cold compress in the early stage. Sexual life and physical labor can aggravate the condition, so avoid them as far as possible. Antibiotics should be sensitive to bacteria, usually 1-2 weeks after intravenous administration, oral antibiotics for 2-4 weeks, to prevent chronic inflammation. If antibiotic treatment is not effective and testicular ischemia is suspected, consider epididymis incision and decompression. Epididymis visceral tunica vaginalis should be cut vertically or horizontally but avoid the epididymal canal. 2. Treatment of chronic epididymitis The effect of drugs alone on chronic epididymitis is not necessarily ideal. In addition to applying effective broad-spectrum antibiotics, local hot compress and other physical therapy are also necessary. Also, herbal medicine Diuretic and Anti-inflammatory Pill has positive effects on epididymitis treatment. If there is chronic prostatitis simultaneously, take this herbal medicine for both diseases. When epididymitis is repeated and drug treatment is ineffective, consider a vasectomy. Epididymidectomy can also be considered for repeated cases. How to do nursing cares in daily life? Avoid unclean sex Many male sexually transmitted diseases, such as syphilis and gonorrhea, are closely related to unclean sex life. Dirty sex is easy to get sick and spread diseases and pests to his wife, and even endanger the health of the next generation, so male friends must pay more attention. At the same time, when suffering from acute epididymitis, do not have sex. Because the epididymis is in an inflammatory state of congestion and edema, the penis is widely congested during sexual intercourse. It will aggravate the swelling of the epididymis and make the inflammation subside. Patients can gradually start sex after epididymitis treatment. Avoid wearing tight jeans every day Men's reproductive system requires the best in low temperature. Men often wearing jeans will makes the local temperature too high, which is not conducive to sperm formation. So wear jeans, especially in summer or humid weather, is not suitable. Pay attention to the health of sexual and reproductive organs Men, especially men with long prepuce, should pay attention to removing dirt prepuce frequently. Dirt prepuce is easy to cause penile cancer and easy to drive the wife to suffer from cervical cancer. Always check yourself Medical research has proved that the early detection and treatment of testicular cancer and penile cancer is very effective. Once it develops to the advanced stage, the curative effect is not ideal. Therefore, men over 35 may as well often check their external reproductive organs.
