What causes epididymitis?

Patient's question:

I recently have testicular pain and swelling. The doctor said it's epididymitis. What causes epididymitis?

Doctor's answer:

Reason 1: Acute epididymitis is often caused by the spread of prostatitis and seminal vesiculitis from the urinary system along the vas deferens, leading to hematogenous transmission.
Reason 2: The main external transmission is due to the unreasonable design of traditional men's underwear on the market.
Reason 3: Acute epididymitis may also be caused by external force pushing, with a sensation of the testicle being squeezed.
Reason 4: If the epididymal function is merely interfered with, it is relatively easy to heal on its own. However, epididymitis tends to recur, requiring long-term medication. Moreover, for male patients, it is necessary to seek medical treatment immediately at a professional and reputable hospital.
