Patient's question:
I don't know how it happened, but I got epididymitis. The doctor said it's not serious and told me to take some anti-inflammatory medication, but I forgot to ask which type. The anti-inflammatory medication I have are all for different types of pathogenic bacteria. Could you please tell me what pathogenic bacteria cause epididymitis?Doctor's answer:
Prostatitis often occurs concurrently with seminal vesiculitis, usually caused by retrograde infection. The most common pathogens include Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus hemolyticus, and Escherichia coli. For your health, it is recommended to visit the hospital promptly for relevant examinations to identify the cause of this condition, followed by timely targeted treatment measures. Additionally, if left untreated for a long time, it may lead to severe consequences such as infertility. Therefore, early examination and treatment are key.
