Patient's question:
I went to the hospital for a thorough check-up because I had discomfort in my testicles. The doctor said I had epididymitis. What causes this condition?Doctor's answer:
The patient's epididymitis is caused by various different reasons. Due to the increased body resistance, bacteria often infiltrate the epididymis at this time, causing inflammation. The perineum, frequently exposed to a moist environment, is particularly prone to bacterial growth, which can also lead to recurrent epididymitis. People who travel frequently by car or ride bicycles often have a high risk of developing epididymitis. Excessive consumption of beer and eating foods can also lead to epididymitis. For patients with epididymitis, timely treatment can reduce the incidence of the disease. If not treated promptly, it may affect fertility.
