best treatment for chronic epididymitis
is an inflammation of the epididymis. Common medical treatments for
epididymitis include antibiotics, anti-inflammatory and other supportive
therapy. epididymitis healing time depends on the type of epididymitis
treatment.
ANTIBIOTICS
-Guidelines from the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommend the following regimen for
acute epididymitis most likely caused by sexually transmitted chlamydia
and gonorrhea: Ceftriaxone 250 mg to be given intramuscularly in a
single dose plus Doxycycline 100 mg to be taken orally twice a day for
10 days.
-For acute recurrent epididymitis treatment
most likely caused by sexually-transmitted chlamydia and gonorrhea and
enteric organisms (eg, in men who engage in rectal intercourse), CDC
recommendations are as follows: Ceftriaxone 250 mg to be given
intramuscularly in a single dose plus Levofloxacin 500 mg to be taken
orally once a day for 10 days or Ofloxacin 300 mg to be taken orally
twice a day for 10 days.
-For acute epididymitis most likely
caused by enteric organisms (eg, cases that develop after prostate
biopsy, vasectomy, and other urinary-tract instrumentation procedures,
with sexually transmitted organisms ruled out) CDC recommendations are
as follows: Levofloxacin 500 mg to be taken orally once daily for 10
days or Ofloxacin 300 mg to be taken orally twice a day for 10 days.
Antibiotics
usually resolve acute epididymitis infections in a very short time,
however a minimum of one to two weeks of intramuscularly antibiotic
therapy plus two to four weeks of orally antibiotic therapy is
recommended to eradicate the offending organism completely. 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.
ANTI-INFLAMMATORY DRUGS
Most patients do not need antibiotics and respond to treatment with
anti-inflammatory drugs including Aspirin (acetylsalicylic
acid),Diflunisal (Dolobid), Ibuprofen, Dexibuprofen, Naproxen. The most
effective of these is Ibuprofen, 400 mg to be taken three times daily
and continue this for a minimum of 14 days.
If people take
anti-inflammatory drugs at an early stage, this can prevent progression
of the symptoms. Early treatment will lessen the discomfort people
experience, and may reduce the length of time that they have symptoms.
But this treatment cannot cure chronic epididymitis with recurrent
symptoms over months or even years.
SUPPORTIVE THERAPY
In
addition to antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs which are not that
effctive for chronic epididymitis, the mainstays of supportive therapy
for chronic epididymitis is combined therapy---taking Diuretic and
Anti-inflammatory Pill along with warm sitz bath.
