How to treat testicular tuberculosis

Because testicular tuberculosis is a common genital tuberculosis problem in men, men should not worry too much after suffering from testicular tuberculosis. The main cause of male testicular tuberculosis is related to bacteria, because in most cases, testicular tuberculosis is a consequence of epididymitis. If testicular tuberculosis is not treated in time, it will affect the overall patency of the testicles, so what are the treatment methods for testicular tuberculosis?

Epididymal tuberculosis, also known as tuberculous epididymitis, is the most common male genital tuberculosis. It is generally considered to be a part of urinary tuberculosis; epididymal tuberculosis is often accompanied by prostate tuberculosis or seminal vesicle tuberculosis.

Tuberculosis bacteria usually spread from the kidney to the prostate, seminal vesicles, and then to the epididymis; some cases are caused by bloodstream infection. The main sequelae of epididymal tuberculosis are incomplete or complete obstruction of the epididymal duct and proximal vas deferens, which can manifest as oligospermia or azoospermia, leading to infertility.

The treatment of testicular tuberculosis should also follow a regular anti-tuberculosis treatment program. Early detection and early diagnosis are the key to successful treatment. The diagnosis of testicular tuberculosis mainly relies on symptoms, signs, blood tests and other local examinations. In the later stage, due to the formation of caseous necrosis and cold abscesses in testicular tuberculosis, sinus ducts are formed after rupture, and if they do not heal for a long time, surgical treatment is required.
