Patient's question:
Continuous high fever has persisted, and I'm particularly afraid of cold. At first, I thought it was just a cold, but then I noticed my testicles were getting more and more painful, and when I touched them, it felt like there was water inside. I went to the hospital for a check-up and was diagnosed with orchitis. Please ask: What is the best method for treating epididymitis?Doctor's answer:
Epididymitis is often caused by the spread of prostatitis and seminal vesiculitis along the vas deferens to the epididymis. Hematogenous transmission is less common. Frequent urethral instrumentation, catheterization, prostatectomy, and indwelling catheters are all prone to cause epididymitis. If acute epididymitis is not treated properly, it can develop into chronic epididymitis. The main external cause of transmission is the unreasonable design of traditional men's underwear on the market, as most men's underwear is typically double-layered.
