Patient's question:
What causes epididymitis? During sexual arousal, the epididymis enlarges, causing pain, and the scrotum becomes red and swollen. The spermatic cord becomes thickened and tender. Is this the condition of epididymitis?Doctor's answer:
Analysis of the condition: There are many causes that can lead to epididymitis. 1. After a prostatectomy, since the surgery is performed through the urethra, the pressure of urine flow during urination can cause urine to reflux into the ejaculatory duct, which is located in the prostate fossa where the opening of the ejaculatory duct is. If the urine contains certain bacteria, it can lead to acute epididymitis. 2. Non-sterile urine refluxing into the vas deferens can cause chemical acute epididymitis. 3. Prostate infection can be triggered by the presence of a catheter in the urethra or urethral instrumentation, which may also lead to acute epididymitis.Advice: Treatment can be administered using Wuhan Li Xiaoping's patented medicine, which is a herbal preparation and has shown good effectiveness. Wishing you good health!
