Patient's question:
What might happen, later I found out that it was an illness. Please ask: What are the common effects of epididymitis?Doctor's answer:
The male epididymis has a significant impact on one's fertility. Although it is not the site of sperm production, it serves as a fertile ground for the transformation, growth, and maturation of sperm. Epididymitis refers to the inflammation of the male epididymis caused by a bacterial infection. Epididymitis can affect male fertility. The reasons why epididymitis affects fertility are: 1. Blocking the sperm pathway. If a man suffers from epididymitis, it may lead to the obstruction of some epididymal ducts or other sperm pathways, resulting in oligospermia and thus affecting fertility.
