Epididymitis is a common infectious disease in young men. When the body's resistance is low, the bacteria will enter the ejaculatory duct and invade the epididymal cyst in reverse, thus causing epididymitis.

Therefore, the vast majority of epididymitis is secondary to urethritis, prostatitis and seminal vesiculitis. Clinically, it can be divided into acute epididymitis and chronic epididymitis.

Acute epididymitis is mainly manifested by sudden fever, swelling and pain in the scrotum of the affected limb, a feeling of intoxication, referred pain in the lower abdomen and groin, pain that worsens when standing or walking, and swelling of the epididymal cyst of the affected limb with significant tenderness.

Chronic epididymitis is mostly caused by incomplete treatment of acute epididymitis, and is often manifested by dull pain in the scrotum of the affected limb and a feeling of dropping pain.

For treatment, oral antibiotics are usually the main treatment, and the treatment course is 2 to 4 weeks. It is generally recommended to take levofloxacin, which may have a better actual effect.
