Patient's question:
What causes epididymitis. Yesterday, I suddenly felt my body temperature was a bit high, feverish, and then there was intense pain in the testicles. The pain was so severe that I felt nauseous and almost vomited. When I carefully examined the area between my legs, I noticed some swelling in the testicles, and pressing lightly caused pain. I went to the hospital for a check-up, and the doctor said it was epididymitis and that I needed to be treated immediately. What causes epididymitis? What is the best way to treat epididymitis?Doctor's answer:
Testicular can recur due to urethritis and cystitis. The common pathogens include Escherichia coli, Proteus, Staphylococcus, Streptococcus faecalis, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The transmission routes are mainly divided into hematogenous transmission, direct transmission, and lymphatic transmission. Clinical diagnosis primarily manifests as pain radiating to the inguinal region and lower abdomen, accompanied by chills, high fever, and gastrointestinal symptoms. It also involves the presence of epididymitis, where the boundaries between the epididymis, testis, and epididymis are unclear, the epididymis becomes hardened, and the vas deferens becomes thickened.
