Patient's question:
I recently feel a sense of distension and pain in the lower abdomen, accompanied by nausea. I want to consult about what are the symptoms of epididymitis?Doctor's answer:
Epididymitis can be acute or chronic. Redness and swelling of the scrotal skin, along with the enlarged and tender epididymis that blurs the boundary with the testis, may recur with symptoms of cystitis and prostatitis. In addition, it may also lead to hydrocele of the tunica vaginalis. The symptoms of chronic epididymitis are relatively mild.Moreover, orchitis can also cause other severe complications that threaten a man's life. The bacteria that cause orchitis can also be transmitted through sexual intercourse to direct relatives, leading to gynecological diseases and causing significant harm to them as well.
