Epididymitis
patients are familiar with antibiotics as it is usually the first choice for
treating this inflammation. But is it the most effective epididymitis
medication? The answer is complex as different person may have different response
to the same antibiotic. As for treating acute epididymitis, patients can be
cured in days or weeks with antibiotics. However, it is difficult for
antibiotics to cure chronic epididymitis completely even though the condition is
not as severe as an acute form.
The
first reason why antibiotic is not the most effective medication for
epididymitis is that it can develop drug resistance and become ineffective in controlling
the symptoms. The second reason is that it can also do harm to the liver and kidneys.
Patients with long-term antibiotics need to change the medicines constantly to
avoid the side effects. Thus, antibiotics is not appropriate in a long-term
treatment.
To
cure epididymitis safely, a safe medication treatment is required. In recent
years, Chinese herbal medicine called Diuretic and Anti-inflammatory Pill is
proven to be effective in the treatment of epididymitis. This medicine is directed
at the elimination of the symptoms as well as the root cause. To cure the pain associated
with epididymitis, it is added with herbs that have functions of improving the
flow of Blood and Qi. To relieve the urinary symptoms, it is added with herbs
that can provide effect on inducing diuresis to relieve the stranguria. Other
herbs in the pill can help to eradicate the bacteria that cause epididymitis.
These herbs can exert powerful benefits on curing the inflammation from its
deeper cause. Patients who have got a full recovery by using Diuretic and
Anti-inflammatory Pill usually has lower relapse rate. Thus, it is the most
effective mediation for epididymitis.
In
addition, to relieve the pain caused by epididymitis, patients need to have bed
rest for 3 to 4 days, apply ice packs to the scrotum, wear scrotal supporter to
elevate the scrotum. Moreover, it is necessary to avoid sexual intercourse, weight
lifting or other strenuous activity.
