Patient's question:
What causes epididymitis How is epididymitis causedDoctor's answer:
Testicular inflammation is usually caused by bacteria and viruses. The testicles themselves rarely suffer from bacterial infections again due to their rich blood and lymphatic supply, which provides strong resistance to bacterial infections. Most bacterial testicular inflammation is caused by inflammation of the adjacent epididymis, hence it is also known as epididymo-orchitis. Traditional Chinese medicine generally adopts a syndrome differentiation approach to treat acute testicular inflammation. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
