Patient's question:
Right testicular pain, the check said there is mild inflammation of the epididymis, medication is needed. Please ask what are the symptoms of epididymitis?Doctor's answer:
Epididymitis is an inflammatory condition of the epididymis caused by various different septic factors. Epididymitis-induced premature ejaculation generally has a favorable prognosis, with very few cases leading to testicular atrophy and male infertility. During the acute phase, the main symptoms include testicular swelling and tenderness, with referred pain to the groin; if bacterial infection occurs, it can form an abscess with a sense of percussion. Epididymitis patients often exhibit symptoms such as redness and swelling of the scrotal skin. If the epididymitis is limited to one side, the patient does not experience premature ejaculation and will not be impaired in future fertility. If it occurs bilaterally, further examination is required to determine the level of infertility by assessing parameters such as sperm motility and quantity.
