Patient's question:
Where is it better to treat epididymitis? Is epididymitis harmful?Doctor's answer:
1. The greatest harm of epididymitis is still its impact on epididymal function, leading to male infertility. It poses significant harm to a man's fertility.2. After the epididymis is infected by pathogens, they can directly harm sperm in the epididymal ducts, inhibiting sperm motility or causing them to clump together, thereby reducing their movement capacity. At the same time, the large amount of decomposition metabolites produced during the inflammatory response can also harm sperm or alter their living environment, leading to decreased sperm motility and the occurrence of sperm deformities.
3. Patients with epididymitis often experience recurrent prostatic congestion, and the pathological excitation of the spinal ejaculation center can cause frequent nocturnal emissions.
