What are the hazards of epididymitis?

Patient's question:

Hello, I have testicular pain and a sensation of heaviness. The doctor said I have epididymitis. What are the dangers of epididymitis?

Doctor's answer:

Epididymitis can also lead to dead sperm, azoospermia, infertility, and transmit inflammatory bacteria to close relatives, causing gynecological diseases, and causing great harm to the wife. It affects sexual quality. Epididymitis almost has no interference with sexual function. However, because the epididymis is long-term stimulated by inflammation, it becomes hard. During sexual intercourse when reaching the climax of ejaculation, the epididymis and vas deferens contract to expel sperm, and pain may reappear. Sometimes the pain may persist for a while after intercourse, leading to dangerous diseases.
