What are the hazards of epididymitis?

Patient's question:

Hello, I have pain in my testicles and a feeling of heaviness. The doctor said I have epididymitis. What are the dangers of this disease?

Doctor's answer:

1. Causing infertility in patients. This is the greatest harm of epididymitis, because the testicles are where sperm is produced, while the epididymis is where sperm matures. If the epididymis is inflamed, the quality of sperm will inevitably be destroyed, naturally interfering with male fertility.
2. If epididymitis is not treated promptly, it is likely to lead to the loss of sexual function. For patients with epididymitis, timely treatment can reduce the severity of the condition. If left untreated, it will affect overall health. Therefore, patients should seek timely treatment according to their symptoms and avoid overexertion in daily life while paying attention to personal hygiene. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
