2. Epididymitis, often caused by bacterial infection, can be acute or chronic. Acute epididymitis presents with severe symptoms such as intense testicular pain and systemic issues like fever and chills. Chronic epididymitis, while milder, can persist over a long period. For patients diagnosed with epididymitis, walking often worsens symptoms, leading doctors to advise reducing this activity.

3. Here ’ s why walking less is beneficial for epididymitis patients: 1. Reducing Epididymal Burden The epididymis, located within the scrotum and connected to the testicle, swings with each step during walking. This movement increases the burden and friction on the epididymis. For an inflamed epididymis, this additional strain can exacerbate pain and discomfort, potentially worsening the inflammation.

4. 2. Promoting Inflammation Resolution
Rest is crucial in treating inflammation. Reducing walking and other lower limb activities decreases stimulation to the epididymis, aiding in the resolution of inflammation. Patients who continue to walk may experience ongoing irritation at the inflammation site, prolonging the disease course and impeding recovery.

5. 3. Alleviating Pain Physical activity often exacerbates the pain of epididymitis. Reducing walking and other lower limb activities can effectively alleviate pain, improving the patient’s quality of life. Pain relief supports physical recovery and helps maintain a positive psychological state, avoiding anxiety and depression caused by persistent pain.

6. 4. Preventing Complications Improperly managed epididymitis can lead to complications such as orchitis, testicular atrophy, or vas deferens obstruction. By reducing walking and taking appropriate rest, the risk of complications is minimized, promoting recovery.

7. In conclusion, reducing walking is essential for epididymitis patients as it can exacerbate symptoms and hinder recovery. If symptoms persist or worsen, patients should seek prompt medical attention. Doctors will develop treatment plans and provide guidance based on individual circumstances. Cooperation with medical advice is crucial for early recovery.

9. Elevating the Scrotum During rest, elevate the scrotum by raising the buttocks or using scrotal support. This reduces pressure on the scrotum, promotes blood circulation, and alleviates swelling and pain.

10. Hot Compress Applying a hot compress promotes local blood circulation, aids in inflammation resolution, and alleviates pain. Apply for 15-20 minutes, 2-3 times a day.

11. Avoiding Vigorous Exercise Vigorous exercise can exacerbate the burden on the epididymis and prolong the disease. Avoid running and jumping, opting for rest and mild activities instead.

12. Proper Medication Epididymitis typically requires antibiotics, commonly quinolones or cephalosporins. Follow the doctor’s instructions strictly and complete the course to ensure thorough infection elimination. Additionally, D iuretic and Anti-inflammatory Pills can effectively relieve symptoms without side effects.

13. Maintaining Personal Hygiene Keep the genital area clean to prevent bacterial infection. Wash daily with warm water and avoid using highly irritating soaps or cleansers.

14. Dietary Considerations Avoid spicy and irritating foods. Consume foods rich in vitamins and minerals, such as fresh vegetables, fruits, and whole grains. Adequate nutrition boosts immunity and promotes recovery.

15. Regular Follow-up Visits Regular follow-ups allow doctors to adjust treatment plans according to the condition’s development. These checkups help identify and address potential issues, preventing the condition from worsening.
