Introduction to hidden diseases of men's genitals

Today we are going to discuss some hidden diseases of men, mainly some diseases related to the genitals. Perhaps because men are good at looking good and are busy with work, these problems are often easily ignored and ignored. When the disease develops to an unbearable level, it must be very serious, even to the point where it cannot be cured, so it must be taken seriously. Today, we will popularize two of them:

1. Redness and swelling behind the “diamond” – epididymitis

Causes and consequences: The epididymis is located around the posterior edge of the testicles, where sperm is temporarily stored after production. Epididymitis is common in people around 30 years old, mostly due to bacterial infection of the urinary tract that has not healed, causing the bacteria to enter the epididymis through the lumen of the vas deferens. It often occurs with posterior urethritis, prostatitis, seminal vesiculitis, etc. The site can be unilateral or bilateral, and the onset time can be acute or slow.

Your examination: If this happens, your entire scrotum is red, swollen, hot, and painful, and it is very sensitive to the touch, and there is burning pain when you urinate in the toilet. And your scrotum is still painful when you are still, but the pain will be relieved when you lie on your back.

Doctor's treatment: Prescribe antibiotics to relieve acute pain. Then apply cold compress to the testicles and raise them at the same time, you can put a rolled up sock or medical gauze underneath. If you don't know how to put it on yourself, you can wear a fixed briefs - it can also reduce the discomfort and swelling of the spermatic cord.

2. Bacteria erode the "diamond" - orchitis

Causes and consequences: Most cases are caused by direct spread of epididymitis to the testicles, which is caused by bacteria. Acute orchitis in children is usually caused by the mumps virus.

Your examination: Bacterial erosion is very similar to epididymitis, but the redness and heat of the testicles are not so obvious or strong. At this time, you can clearly see that one or both testicles are swollen, and it hurts when you press it. Your scrotal skin also begins to become red and swollen, and it still feels hot to the touch.

Doctor's treatment: Since severe orchitis can cause loss of fertility, doctors will use antibiotics in addition to painkillers; cold compresses should also be applied to the testicles. If doctors do not properly treat the acute stage, bacterial orchitis can form abscesses or develop into chronic orchitis.

The above is a popularization of some clinical manifestations and treatment methods of epididymitis and orchitis. It is recommended that male friends must pay attention to it. Although the probability of urinary tract infection is much lower than that of women, it cannot be ignored, because when there is obvious perception and pain, it may be too late to treat it. I hope everyone will care about and pay attention to the various hidden dangers of men's genitals.
