2. Male sterilization, achieved by severing and
ligating the vas deferens to block or occlude
the passage of sperm, is a proven and
effective contraceptive method. However,
many men harbor reservations towards this
surgical intervention, fearing potential
complications such as post-vasectomy pain
syndrome and epididymitis. Let us now delve
into these concerns and address them
comprehensively.

3. What are the potential sequelae of male
sterilization? This permanent contraceptive
method, reserved for men who have no desire
for future fertility, involves inherent risks
and potential complications.

4. Postoperative occlusion of the vas deferens
can lead to accumulation of sperm and seminal
fluid in the testicular and epididymal tissues,
causing local swelling and discomfort. This
pain may be severe and may require analgesic
medication.

5. The vas deferens is richly innervated with
sensitive nerves, which can be inadvertently
severed during surgery, leading to intractable
pain in the affected area.

6. Narrowing of the vas deferens, damage to
the blood vessels, and bleeding caused by the
surgical procedure can promote bacterial
infection, leading to vasitis.

7. Poor wound care or diminished immune
function in the patient can increase the risk
of infection and inflammation at the surgical
site.

9. Post-vasectomy epididymitis can develop in
some men following the procedure. This is
attributed to the fact that even after
vasectomy, men continue to produce a
significant amount of sperm and seminal fluid
that cannot be fully absorbed and may
accumulate in the epididymis, leading to pain
and swelling in the affected area. Over time,
chronic epididymitis can develop as a result
of infection in the epididymis.

10. Patients may experience chronic scrotal pain,
thickening and hardening of the vas deferens,
varying degrees of epididymal enlargement
and hardness, and radiating pain into the
lower abdomen. In addition, sterilization may
increase the risk of prostatitis in men.

12. For the treatment of epididymitis caused by
male sterilization, not only does it require
antibacterial and anti-inflammatory
treatment, but also the unblocking of the vas
deferens to prevent the accumulation of
sperm and epididymal fluid from causing
further infections.

13. The herbal medicine Diuretic and Anti-
inflammatory Pill has remarkable efficacy in
treating chronic epididymitis by clearing heat
and toxins, promoting blood circulation and
relieving pain, and diuresis.

14. Oral administration of Diuretic and Anti-
inflammatory Pill can eliminate inflammation and
infection, clear pathogenic bacteria from the
epididymis, testicles, and prostate, and have
antibacterial effects. Furthermore, it can
promote blood circulation, relieve pain and
discomfort, and help absorb the accumulated
sperm and epididymal fluid to prevent further
accumulation and eliminate the proliferation of
epididymis and vas deferens.

15. After vasectomy, the occurrence of
epididymitis is mainly due to the lack of related
protective measures and failure to rest
properly. Therefore, patients need to pay
attention to developing good dietary habits and
eating on time.

16. Ensuring sufficient protein intake, choosing low-
fat foods such as chicken and fish as sources of
protein, eating more fresh vegetables and
fruits, avoiding spicy foods, eating less fried,
pickled, and smoked foods, and avoiding
overeating are all important considerations.

17. Protecting the scrotum from being squeezed,
using a cushion when lying down to rest,
maintaining good personal hygiene, changing
underwear in a timely manner, and getting
enough rest while avoiding staying up late are
also important. Patients should avoid vigorous
exercise and move gently when changing
positions. Sexual activity should be avoided as
much as possible until full recovery.

18. The above is the introduction of whether male
sterilization will cause epididymitis. I hope it can
help everyone!
