Can men with chronic epididymitis have children?

Patient's question:

I have been married for 5 years now, but my wife has never been pregnant. After a thorough examination, it was discovered that I suffer from epididymitis. Now that I have this condition, I want to know if chronic epididymitis can lead to pregnancy?

Doctor's answer:

Chronic orchitis is relatively common in men, and some patients, if not treated properly during the acute phase, may develop into chronic orchitis. Patients with chronic orchitis often experience side scrotal dull pain, a sense of fullness and heaviness, and the recurrence of pain symptoms. During episodes of pain, it may sometimes radiate to the lower abdomen and the inguinal region on the same side. Orchitis is a common urological condition, and its impact on patients is significant. When patients suffer from this disease, inflammatory symptoms may reappear, which can easily lead to an increase in sperm motility.
