Patient's question:
Hello expert, I have had chronic epididymitis for over two years. I don't know if it is chronic epididymitis that has caused prostatitis. Recently, I have felt dampness in the scrotum, and there is a bit of deviation in urination. Is it chronic epididymitis that has caused prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
Hello, chronic epididymitis does not necessarily cause prostatitis. Epididymitis and prostatitis are not the same disease. They are usually caused by infections due to poor hygiene of the lower body. Based on your description, damp scrotum and urine splitting are symptoms of prostatitis, so it is more likely that you have prostatitis. I recommend that you go to a regular hospital for a detailed examination and treatment. Targeted treatment should be based on the examination results. I hope my answer is helpful to you. Wish you a speedy recovery!
