Patient's question:
It's been a while, and recently I've started feeling some pain, especially when touched, it's quite severe. Also, it seems there's some swelling on the other side. I'm very concerned. Could you please explain how epididymitis usually occurs?Doctor's answer:
There are many reasons that can lead to the recurrence of epididymitis. The specific reasons are as follows: Prostatectomy can cause bacteria to enter the vas deferens, leading to epididymitis; prostate infection and viral infection are also possible causes of recurrent epididymitis. If you want to verify the specific cause of epididymitis, you still need to undergo proper examinations to clarify it. If the recurrence of epididymitis is not treated effectively in a timely manner, it can cause numerous adverse effects on the patient. Therefore, if a man experiences symptoms of epididymitis, he must take it seriously and seek timely examination and treatment at a formal hospital.
