Patient's question:
I've been married for almost a year and have been wanting a child, but nothing has worked out, which is very frustrating. I found out that I actually have epididymitis. I want to ask if bilateral epididymitis affects fertility?Doctor's answer:
Epididymitis is a common male reproductive system disease, primarily caused by bacterial and viral infections. Chronic epididymitis is generally closely related to chronic reproductive system inflammation. The most obvious symptom of chronic epididymitis in patients is swelling and pain in the testicular area, accompanied by a sensation of heaviness or dragging. A healthy lifestyle and dietary habits can help chronic epididymitis recover more quickly and completely. Therefore, during treatment, it is essential to maintain a light diet and avoid spicy, irritating foods, as well as foods with high heat.
