Can the right epididymitis affect fertility?

Patient's question:

I have a hard lump in my right testicle. After taking anti-inflammatory medication, the lump hasn't completely disappeared. I feel it might be epididymitis. Will having a more severe right epididymitis affect my ability to conceive?

Doctor's answer:

Epididymitis will definitely affect the quality of your sperm. It is recommended that you first actively treat the symptoms, and then re-examine your semen routine and scrotal color Doppler ultrasound. For patients with epididymitis, timely treatment can reduce the incidence of the disease. If it is not treated in a timely manner, it will affect your physical condition. Therefore, patients should take medication promptly and pay more attention to self-care in daily life, avoid spicy foods, and drink more water.
