What are the causes of epididymal tuberculosis?

Patient's question:

November 19, 2010, the illness broke out. The main symptoms were orchitis pain, fever, nodules, and adhesion of the epididymis to the scrotal skin. What is the cause?

Doctor's answer:

Epididymal tuberculosis is the most common genitourinary tuberculosis in men, and it occurs when Mycobacterium tuberculosis spreads to the epididymis, being related to renal tuberculosis and prostatic tuberculosis, but it has little to do with veterinary training. The treatment of epididymal tuberculosis generally includes two options: drug treatment and surgical treatment. Early treatment should involve comprehensive antitubercular medication, and surgical treatment can be considered. The epididymis can be stabilized, but the treatment process is usually slow, and relapse is prone to occur after treatment. Therefore, active cooperation with the doctor's medication plan is essential during treatment. Additionally, patients should avoid prolonged sitting or riding and pay close attention to personal hygiene.
