What causes epididymitis?

Men tend to neglect reproductive health issues, but are easily affected by some diseases, such as epididymitis. The causes of epididymitis include external infection, external force, and some bad living habits.

External infection

The main cause of external infection is the unreasonable design of traditional men's underwear on the market. Most men's underwear is designed with double layers in the front, which wraps the penis and scrotum together. As a result, the penis and scrotum are in a high temperature and humid environment for a long time, becoming a breeding ground for bacteria and other microorganisms, which can easily induce prostatitis and lead to epididymitis, and is often easily overlooked.

Most chronic prostatitis belongs to this category. There is no consensus on the cause of this disease. It is caused by other microorganisms, such as Chlamydia trachomatis, Mycoplasma, Trichomonas, fungi, anaerobic bacteria, etc. The onset of the disease may be related to irregular sexual life, erection without ejaculation, interrupted sexual intercourse, or long-distance cycling, long-term sitting work, etc., which causes pelvic congestion caused by the prostate. Excessive drinking and spicy food can often aggravate the symptoms of prostatitis.

Squeezed by external force

A large amount of survey data also shows that acute epididymitis may also be caused by external force squeezing, with the feeling of the testicles being squeezed. More reasons are caused by too frequent sexual life, especially for teenagers and unmarried people, masturbation may also lead to the occurrence of this disease!

Foreskin is too long

It is relatively easy to cure the epididymal function alone, but when the epididymis is infected, it is usually accompanied by other inflammations. In this case, it is difficult to say whether it can be completely cured. Observations show that the proportion of epididymal dysfunction caused by unclean sexual behavior is increasing. Most of the infertile male patients with epididymal infection revealed that they had one-night stands or prostitutes. However, too long foreskin and long-term non-cleaning can also cause epididymal infection.
