Patient's question:
My husband suffers from epididymitis, and his sperm abnormality rate is severe. The doctor carefully examined with the naked eye and said there are slight swelling and nodules in the epididymis, indicating chronic epididymitis. Surgical treatment is considered the most effective. How can the epididymal abnormality be treated well?Doctor's answer:
Epididymitis is often caused by a secondary infection of the epididymis due to the retrograde transmission of prostatitis or seminal vesiculitis along the vas deferens, with hematogenous infection being rare. It is divided into acute epididymitis and chronic epididymitis. The condition of the epididymis tends to recur, requiring long-term medication. Moreover, for male patients, it is crucial to seek immediate treatment from a professional and reputable hospital, and treatment should be considered based on examination results. Additionally, proper diet and abstinence from sexual activity should be maintained.
