In life, many men are familiar with epididymitis. If they do not actively treat epididymitis, it will lead to male infertility. Many men have begun to pay attention to the disease, and it is essential to understand the causes of epididymitis.
4 major pathogenic factors of
epididymitis
First, acute epididymitis is mostly caused by prostatitis of the urinary system and seminal vesiculitis spreading to epididymis along the vas deferens, and blood supply infection is rare. Frequent catheter operation and indwelling catheter after prostatectomy can easily cause epididymitis, and acute epididymitis can turn into chronic epididymitis if not effectively treated.
Second, the main reason for the external infection is the unreasonable design of traditional men's underwear in the market. Most men's underwear is double-layer in the front, which wraps the penis and scrotum together, resulting in the penis and scrotum being exposed to high temperature and humidity for a long time, becoming a hotbed of bacteria and other microorganisms, and easily leading to prostatitis and epididymitis, which is often ignored.
Third, many other investigation data show that acute epididymitis may also be caused by external forces, with the feeling of the testicle being squeezed. The reason is that sex is too frequent, especially for teenagers and unmarried people. Masturbation can also cause this disease!
Fourth, simple epididymis function is relatively easy to cure, but epididymis infection is usually accompanied by other inflammation. In this case, it is difficult to say whether it can be effectively cured. The observation shows that the proportion of abnormal epididymis function caused by unclean sexual behavior is rising. Some infertile male patients with epididymis infection mainly disclose that they have had a one-night stand or have been looking for a lady. However, if the foreskin is too long and not cleaned for a long time, it will also cause epididymis infection.
After understanding the cause of epididymitis, the patient should be treated in time. Otherwise, it will endanger the patient's health. Epididymitis is mainly caused by bacterial infection, sexually transmitted infection, obstruction, and other factors. Under repeated and continuous stimulation of inflammation, it can lead to long-term swelling of the epididymis, which can gradually develop into chronic testicular epididymitis, and the treatment difficulty will be significantly increased.
When there is epididymitis, if it is not treated in time, the inflammation will gradually spread, leading to nephritis, urethritis, prostatitis, etc. Because the male genitals are close to each other, it is easy to infect each other and eventually cause infection of the entire urinary system. Not only will there be symptoms such as frequent urination, the urgency of urination, and difficulty in urination, but it will also further aggravate epididymitis, making treatment more difficult.
The most important thing is that when the epididymis is stimulated by inflammation, it can cause swelling and congestion of the epididymis, and severe pain will occur during sexual life, which will make the patient unable to have a normal sexual life. It may also infect the spouse in the process of cohabitation, leading to various gynecological inflammation in the spouse. In severe cases, it will also affect the physiological functions of the testis and epididymis, resulting in the reduction of the sexual function of the patient and affecting fertility.
The patient needs to rest in bed and raise the scrotum in the early stage. Use ice compress in the early stage and hot compress and hot water sitz bath in the late stage. Patients with obvious pain can be given oral analgesics or spermatic cord block to relieve pain.
Acute patients should choose drugs that are sensitive to bacteria. Usually, oral antibiotics are used after intravenous administration for one to two weeks to prevent acute epididymitis from turning into chronic epididymitis. For the treatment of chronic epididymitis, broad-spectrum antibiotics are usually used. If the treatment effect is not good, you can choose herbal medicine
Diuretic and Anti-inflammatory Pill.
Many men don't pay much attention to epididymitis, and they don't notice it until the disease gets worse. So, what are the prevention methods for epididymitis?
The prevention of epididymitis should start with the details. Pay attention to work, rest and diet, and avoid fatigue, staying up late, and other things violating the body's laws. It is best to combine work and rest and eat more fruit at ordinary times. The vitamins and minerals contained in fruits can keep men healthy and balanced. Fruit is indispensable to the human body and helps to improve immunity.
To avoid epididymitis, men can correct their bad habits, such as long-term smoking, alcoholism, etc., which dramatically violate health laws and efficiently reduce their physique and induce various chronic diseases. In life, we should also pay attention to strengthening our physique, avoiding long-term residence, eating less spicy food, eating more bland food, and having a moderate sexual life.
Pay attention to personal hygiene at ordinary times. It is better not to share sanitary appliances and personal clothing with others, which can easily infect diseases. Moreover, it is better to keep the foreskin and glans clean, change the underwear in time, keep the local clean and dry, squeeze the scrotum, and prevent the temperature of the scrotum from rising. This is an effective way to avoid epididymitis.
In life, there are many ways to prevent epididymitis. Men should pay attention to personal hygiene and their usual diet. Otherwise, if they suffer from epididymitis, they will bring danger to themselves.
