Acute epididymitis needs bed rest, and the scrotum will be lifted up, and 0.5% lidocaine can be used to do spermatic cord closure to reduce pain. Chronic epididymitis can be supported by holding up the scrotum, and localized hot compresses and hot water sitz baths can help relieve symptoms.
However, care should be taken to ensure the right temperature to prevent burns. Patients can also take ceftazidime, erythromycin, ofloxacin and other drugs to fight inflammation and relieve pain.
