Patient's question:
Hello, I have testicular pain and a sensation of heaviness. The doctor said I have epididymitis. What are the effective methods for treating epididymitis?Doctor's answer:
Epididymitis is a common non-specific infectious disease in the male reproductive system, often affecting middle-aged and young adults. It can be classified into acute epididymitis and chronic epididymitis based on the course of the disease. The pathogens of epididymitis spread from industrial pollution urine, the posterior urethra, the prostate, or the seminal vesicles along the vas deferens to the epididymis. It can cause various diseases, such as varicocele, spermatic cord inflammation, and prostatitis, leading to an increase in male sexual function or even complete loss of sexual function. The general treatment methods for epididymitis include medication and surgical treatment. It is recommended to seek professional urological hospital follow-up as soon as possible to identify the cause and start treatment promptly to avoid delaying the condition and causing unnecessary complications. In daily life, it is important to take preventive measures and maintain a regular lifestyle. Wishing you good health.
