Patient's question:
I've always been a bit troubled by my epididymitis, which never seems to be cured. Lately, I've been wondering how to completely treat epididymitis?Doctor's answer:
Epididymitis recurrence is mainly caused by urinary tract infections. It can be classified as acute or chronic. Acute epididymitis may recur with symptoms such as high fever and scrotal swelling and pain. Chronic epididymitis, on the other hand, may present with dull scrotal pain, a sense of heaviness and fullness, and the pain can spread to surrounding areas, causing significant suffering to the patient.For men with epididymitis, it is possible to have children, but it is not recommended to do so until the inflammation has fully healed. Additionally, the fertility of men with epididymitis can be affected during the inflammatory phase. When epididymitis recurs with parotitis (mumps), it can lead to severe damage to sperm.
