Patient's question:
I am an office white-collar worker. Throughout the day, I sit at my desk and am very busy, so I rarely get up to move around. Because of this, I was recently diagnosed with acute epididymitis. Now, I am in constant pain every day and don't know what to do. Could you please ask: How much money should be prepared for the treatment of epididymitis?Doctor's answer:
Orchitis is a common non-specific infectious disease in the male reproductive system, more prevalent among middle-aged and young adults. It can be divided into acute orchitis and chronic orchitis based on the course of the disease. When various reasons lead to a weakened immune system, pathogens can take advantage of the opportunity to infiltrate the epididymis, causing inflammation. This manifests as sudden pain in the scrotal area, swelling of the epididymis, significant tenderness, and may be accompanied by fever, epididymal hardening, etc. Inflammation of the epididymis can interfere with sperm maturation, increasing its fertilization capacity; inflammation can also lead to blockage of the epididymal ducts, impairing the long-distance mobility of sperm. These factors can all result in clinical infertility. The cost is approximately hundreds to thousands of dollars.
