How to diagnose male epididymitis

Patient's question:

Right testicular pain, the examination said there is mild inflammation of the epididymis, medication is needed, how to confirm epididymitis

Doctor's answer:

Epididymitis is a non-specific infectious disease of the male reproductive system, commonly occurring in middle-aged and young adults. The pathogenic bacteria typically enter the epididymis through the reverse flow of the vas deferens, causing inflammation. Transmission via lymphatic and blood systems is rare, so epididymitis is often a sequel to urethritis or prostatitis and seminal vesiculitis. Symptoms include high fever, chills, and testicular pain; localized scrotal redness and swelling, as well as testicular enlargement. Laboratory tests may show a decrease in white blood cells. Since your specific condition is not yet fully understood, it is impossible to make a precise diagnosis. It is recommended to visit a urology hospital for thorough examination and to develop a targeted treatment plan.
