Who is prone to epididymitis?

Epididymitis is a relatively popular male disease nowadays. After it occurs, many people will become confused and timid, especially in the case of a cold, which will make epididymitis more serious. You must maintain your personal hygiene and optimism, and actively cooperate with the treatment. Most patients should rest in bed and try not to use foods with high antibiotic content to improve symptoms.

Epididymitis is a common disease of non-specific infection of the male reproductive system, which is more common in young and middle-aged people. When the body's own resistance is reduced due to various reasons, pathogens can take the opportunity to invade the epididymis and cause inflammation. Symptoms include sudden pain in the scrotum, swelling of the epididymis, obvious tenderness, and may be accompanied by fever and epididymal nodules. Epididymal inflammation can affect sperm maturation and reduce its fertilization ability; inflammation can also cause blockage of the epididymal duct, affecting sperm output, all of which can cause clinical infertility.

1. Bacterial orchitis

Rest in bed, lift the scrotum, and apply local hot compress. If the scrotal skin is obviously swollen, apply 50% magnesium sulfate solution for hot compress to help the inflammation subside. If the pain is severe and the painkillers are not effective, the spermatic cord on the affected side can be closed. Systemic medication should be broad-spectrum or Gram-negative antibiotics, such as penicillin, gentamicin, and various cephalosporins.

2. Chronic nonspecific orchitis

Bilateral chronic orchitis can often cause infertility. Treatment is mainly aimed at the cause of chronic orchitis.

3. Mumps orchitis

(1) Antibiotics are ineffective for this disease, so symptomatic treatment is the main approach.

(2) The use of adrenocortical hormones has a clear therapeutic effect on patients in the recovery stage.

(3) 1% lidocaine low spermatic cord closure can improve testicular blood flow and protect spermatogenesis.

(4) In addition to being effective in treating acute mumps orchitis, interferon also has a significant effect in preventing testicular atrophy.

4. Treatment of testicular pain

Symptomatic treatment should be carried out on the basis of determining the cause. If the cause cannot be found for the time being, symptomatic treatment such as sedation and analgesia can be used. If necessary, spermatic cord procaine closure therapy can be used.

1. Middle-aged men should pay attention to their testicle care. Testicle care is an important means to solve men's sexual dysfunction.

2. If you feel any pain during massage, it may be orchitis or epididymitis. Please go to the hospital for examination immediately.

3. Bilateral lesions of acute mumps orchitis can cause irreversible damage to spermatogenesis and even testicular atrophy, leading to male infertility.

4. Eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, and increase the intake of vitamin C and other ingredients to enhance the body's anti-inflammatory ability.

Avoid eating spicy food, smoking, drinking, standing or sitting for long periods of time, excessive sexual activity, frequent masturbation, etc.
