Many men with epididymis can be fertile after surgery. However, surgery may cause many side effetcs to them. Diuretic and Anti-inflammatory Pill, a herbal medicine, can be a nice option.

1. Does Epididymis Cause
Infertility After Surgery?
Wuhan Dr.Lee’s TM Clinic

2. Epididymitis is an inflammatory lesion of the epididymis
caused by a bacterial or viral epididymis infection,
manifesting as an epididymis enlargement and a painful
sensation. Generally, epididymitis caused by bacterial
infection has little effect on fertility if treated in time.
If the abscess is formed due to untreated epididymitis,
especially bilateral epididymal abscesses, it will have a
greater impact on fertility and may cause sterility in
serious cases.

3. In the case of bilateral epididymitis caused by a mumps
virus infection, the mumps virus will cause the epididymis
and testicles to become soft and atrophy, so it will have a
greater impact on fertility. Surgical removal of
epididymitis usually does not affect fertility, but if left
untreated, it will affect fertility.

4. Epididymitis is one of the common reproductive infections
in the male reproductive system. The testes are an
essential part of the male body, where semen is produced
and stored. Once there is epididymitis, it may cause
certain damage to male semen and sperm, the most
serious may be male infertility. Epididymitis poses a great
threat to male reproductive health and is one of the
important causes of male infertility. Therefore, it is
imperative to prevent epididymitis.

5. Will fertility be affected
after surgical treatment of
epididymitis?

6. In clinical practice, this situation needs to be analyzed
according to specific circumstances.
First, if it is due to the ineffectiveness of antibiotic
treatment and the suspicion of testicular ischemia, the
epididymal incision decompression operation can relieve
the symptoms, which will not affect fertility.

7. Secondly, if the inflammatory mass of epididymitis
increases and fluctuates, it means that an abscess is
formed, and timely incision and drainage will relieve the
symptoms, which will not affect fertility.
Furthermore, if testicular infarction occurs and
orchiectomy is performed, and the lateral testicle is
normal, fertility will not be affected. Of course, if the
orchiectomy damages the function of the epididymis of
the side testicle, fertility may be affected.

8. Finally, epididymectomy can be considered for patients
with recurrent episodes of chronic epididymitis. Of
course, if the epididymis of the opposite testicle is
normal, it will not affect fertility. So whether
epididymitis surgery can affect fertility needs specific
analysis.

9. In addition to surgery,
what treatment options are
available to patients?

10. It is common to rest in bed, and scrotal support can be
used to reduce the symptoms. It is recommended that you
make your own larger scrotal rest with cotton pads, which
will be more comfortable. Patients with strong pain
symptoms can use painkillers and local heat therapy to
relieve symptoms and promote inflammation subsidence.
However, premature heat therapy is not recommended
because it can worsen the pain. Ice can promote the
spread of infection, and it is advisable to use ice packs to
apply local heat in the early stages.

11. Choose medications that are more sensitive to bacteria on
your doctor's advice. After a week to two weeks of
intravenous administration, you can take oral antibacterial
drugs for 2 to 4 weeks, which can have a preventive
effect to prevent the transformation into chronic
inflammation.

12. Traditional Chinese medicine Diuretic and Anti-
inflammatory Pill has the effect of clearing heat and
dampness, soothing liver and Qi, and detoxifying
carbuncle. It can quickly relieve scrotal pain, eliminate
epididymal inflammation and restore the normal shape and
function of the epididymis to completely cure epididymal
inflammation.

13. Generally speaking, surgical treatment has no adverse
effects on the body. However, if conservative treatment is
ineffective and surgical treatment is not taken in time, it
will only lead to aggravation of the disease and affect
fertility and physical health. Epididymitis is a common
disease in clinical urology, which is caused by inflammatory
infection. If treatment with anti-inflammatory drugs is
ineffective, surgery is needed in time.
