Epididymitis surgery

In addition to the penis, prostate and testicles, male sexual organs are also susceptible to various diseases like female sexual organs. For example, epididymitis is a male disease. Men with epididymitis can be treated through epididymitis surgery, which is only a very minor surgery. There are two causes of epididymitis, one is infectious and the other is non-infectious. Let's learn about it together~

Acute epididymitis caused by non-infectious factors may be related to trauma, autoimmune diseases (Behcet's syndrome), and drugs (amiodarone), and is generally not associated with urinary tract infection.

2. Two Causes

1. Infectious factors

1. Pathogens - Acute epididymitis in children under 14 years old is often caused by E. coli or Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection. After puberty, in men under 35 years old, acute epididymitis is usually caused by gonococcal and/or Chlamydia trachomatis infection. In gay men, it is often caused by Gram-negative bacteria, such as E. coli and Haemophilus influenzae. The cause of epididymitis in patients over 35 years old is mainly related to urinary tract infection caused by E. coli or Pseudomonas aeruginosa. These patients often have a history of prostate stones, recent urinary tract instrumentation examinations, bladder nerve dysfunction, benign prostatic hyperplasia or chronic bacterial prostatitis. Herpes simplex virus, mumps virus, tuberculosis, Treponema pallidum, etc. can also affect the epididymis.

2. Infection route: The pathogen can invade the epididymis through the lymphatic route, diffusion along the tunica vaginalis, urine reflux or hematogenous spread.

3. Hazards

1. Loss of fertility. Epididymitis can lead to dead sperm, azoospermia, loss of fertility, and transmit inflammatory bacteria to the spouse, causing gynecological diseases and harming the wife.

2. Can cause loss of sexual function. Epididymitis can lead to decreased male sexual function or even complete loss of sexual function, bringing difficulties to the couple's sexual life.

4. Impairment of essence and kidney, and premature aging. If epididymitis is not cured for a long time, it is easy to cause impaired essence and kidney, loss of vitality, chills in the limbs, back pain, and premature aging.
