Patient's question:
Recently, I was carefully diagnosed with epididymitis, and I'm feeling particularly upset! What harms can epididymitis bring?Doctor's answer:
Infertility. Epididymitis can also lead to dead sperm, azoospermia, infertility, and transmit inflammatory bacteria to close relatives, causing gynecological diseases, and bringing great harm to the wife. It affects sexual quality, and epididymitis almost has no impact on sexual function. However, due to long-term inflammation stimulation, the epididymis may harden. During sexual intercourse when reaching orgasm, the epididymis and vas deferens contract to expel sperm, which can cause pain again. Sometimes the pain may persist for a while after intercourse. It can lead to dangerous diseases. Epididymitis is prone to causing various serious diseases, such as varicocele, orchitis, nephritis, and other kidney diseases, urinary tract infections, and in severe cases, it can lead to malignant tumors, severely threatening men's lives.
