Self-check is Necessary For Epididymitis Patients

Epididymitis is a common disease in young people. Many men have some doubts about how it is infected. Now let's go and have a look. How is epididymitis caused? 1. Low resistance Epididymitis is common in young and middle-aged men. It has a great relationship with the decline of body resistance caused by men's work, study pressure, excessive fatigue, and irregular life. Pathogens often take the opportunity to invade the epididymis at this time, causing inflammation. 2. Perineal environment is easy to cause urinary tract infection Underwear problems can also cause epididymitis in men. Sometimes, many men's underwear is double-layer, the penis and scrotum wrapped together, leading to long-term high temperature and humidity in the perineum, easy to breed bacteria, resulting in urinary tract infection, and lead to epididymitis. 3. Secondary to other urogenital infections Some bacteria also cause epididymitis in men. More common are Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus. These bacteria are mostly from the urogenital system of other inflammation, through the vas deferens countercurrent into the epididymis, and then in the internal epididymis reproduction, cause epididymitis. Transurethral instrument operation and frequent catheterization are also common causes of acute epididymitis. 4. Bad living habits Sitting for a long time or riding for a long time can oppress epididymis, affecting its blood circulation and prone to inflammation. Irregular sexual life, like do not ejaculate or interrupt sexual intercourse, is also prone to epididymitis. Excessive drinking and eating spicy food can aggravate prostatitis symptoms and then induce epididymitis. How to do a self-check of epididymitis? 1. Generally, patients with epididymitis will have induration. Induration mainly occurs in the head or tail of the epididymis, mostly in the tail. After epididymis infection, nodules are often left in the tail or head. 2. Data show that acute epididymitis may also be caused by external pressure, with the feeling of a testicular being crushed. The more reason is that sexual life is too frequent, especially for teenagers and unmarried people, masturbation may also lead to this disease. 3. There is sudden high fever, white blood cell elevation, scrotal distension and pain on the affected side, depression, lower abdomen, groin pain, and aggravating when standing or walking. The epididymis on the swollen side has apparent tenderness. When the scope of inflammation is large, the epididymis and testis are swollen, and the boundary between them is unclear, which is called epididymal orchitis. The spermatic cord on the affected side was thickened and tender. It is a symptom of acute epididymitis. Acute epididymitis mainly occurs on one side. The affected scrotum will suddenly appear severe pain, can appear local fever, swelling, urethral secretions, systemic discomfort, and other symptoms. In general, the acute symptoms can gradually subside after one week. Chronic epididymitis is more common. Some patients have chronic epididymitis because they can not get a cure in the acute stage. But most patients have no definite acute phase. Inflammation is often secondary to chronic prostatitis or injury. The patient often feels dull scrotal pain, distension, and falling sensation, and the pain usually involves the lower abdomen and ipsilateral groin. Treat acute epididymitis in time to reduce the possibility of chronic epididymitis. If it has turned into chronic epididymitis, choose herbal medicine Diuretic and Anti-inflammatory Pill to eliminate symptoms and causes to avoid recurrence. How to prevent epididymitis? 1. Good eating habits Men should develop good diet and health habits in daily life to avoid epididymitis. They should have a balanced diet, drink more water, keep the stool unobstructed, change the underwear frequently to avoid male reproductive and urinary tract infection, and then induce epididymitis. 2. Moderate sex life Healthy and scientific sex life can help males prevent epididymitis. Experts remind men to avoid excessive sex and masturbation. Otherwise, it will cause epididymal congestion and edema, induce or aggravate the disease.
