Patient's question:
I'm very troubled. I'm not sure where the problem is, but I ended up with epididymitis. This condition is a bit troublesome for me. I'd like to ask how epididymitis should be treated?Doctor's answer:
Epididymitis can be divided into two types: acute and chronic. The recurrence of acute epididymitis is generally caused by bacteria descending along the vas deferens, surgical injury with instruments, or prolonged use of catheters. Chronic epididymitis, on the other hand, is caused by incomplete treatment during the acute phase.The causes of epididymitis are numerous. These include a weakened immune system, high and humid perineal environment, poor lifestyle habits, and it can also be secondary to other urogenital infections. All of these are contributing factors to the onset of the disease.
