As we all know,prostatitis is the inflammation of the prostate gland. As a result, when the inflammation spread to the epididymis, people can suffer from epididymitis.In clinically,epididymitis may be acute or chronic. Usually, chronic epididymitis is epididymitis that ensues for more than 3 months.
In some cases, epididymitis may not clear up completely or may recur, this is known as chronic epididymitis. Chronic epididymitis is characterized by inflammation even when there is no infection present. Symptoms of chronic epididymitis may come on gradually. Therefore, how to cure chronic epididymitis caused by Prostatitis?
Antibiotics
In both the acute and chronic forms, antibiotics are used if an infection is suspected. The treatment of choice is often azithromycin and cefixime to cover both gonorrhoeae and chlamydia. Fluoroquinolones are no longer recommended due to widespread resistance of gonorrhoeae to this class.
Doxycycline may be used as an alternative to azithromycin. In chronic epididymitis, a four- to six-week course of antibiotics may be prescribed to ensure the complete eradication of any possible bacterial cause, especially the various chlamydiae. However, antibiotics should not be used when there is no infection and patients are resistant to antibiotics easily. Therefore the disease is easy to recur.
