2. In today's life, many men suffer from epididymitis
without treatment, which eventually leads to
infertility. Men do not know that they suffer from
epididymitis, so they do not receive timely
treatment. So today, it's going to talk about some
symptoms of epididymitis. If men have these
symptoms, they need to go to the hospital to see
if it is epididymitis to get treatment at the most
convenient time.

3. The symptoms of
epididymitis

4. 1. Scrotal pain
Scrotal pain is one of the most typical symptoms
of epididymitis. When the scrotum is unexplained,
and no external objects appear, epididymitis will
likely occur.

5. 2. Painful pressure in the groin
When epididymitis occurs, it is easy for the pain to
move slowly from the scrotum to the groin,
causing the groin to be squeezed and painful at
the end of the day. Sometimes the skin also
becomes thin and easily peels off.

6. 3. Testicles slowly become larger
If men have epididymitis, their testicles will slowly
swell up. And when they swell up, they will
become stiff and painful when touched gently.
Some testicles may become shrunken, and
sometimes in severe cases, the testicles are almost
invisible.

7. 4. Irritable mood
Because epididymitis can cause pain, the body's
painful feeling will make the patient's mood very
bad and quickly irritable. In severe cases, it will
also cause the couple's relationship and make the
couple's relationship break up.

8. How to prevent
epididymitis

9. 1. Don't hold urine
It is a terrible habit to hold your urine. When you
have your urine, it is easy to cause neuromuscular
disorders. Once the neuromuscular disorders lead
to urine reflux, it will lead to too much uric acid,
which makes bacteria breed once you hold your
urine. Together with urine reflux, it will lead to
epididymitis.

10. 2. Don't eat spicy food
Spicy foods can easily stimulate the epididymis in
our body. Once the epididymis is produced, it is
prone to hyperemia, which increases the workload
of the epididymis, which is very easy to cause the
appearance of epididymitis.

11. 3. Avoid being sedentary
It is a widespread thing nowadays to be sedentary,
and when this happens, it will make the blood of the
lower body not circulate. This time, if it is severe, it is
easy to infect the epididymis directly and make it
inflamed. Therefore, it is best to avoid being
sedentary during standard times, and office workers
should choose to get up for 5 minutes an hour.

12. Treatment of epididymitis

13. 1. General treatment
It is common to rest in bed and use scrotal support
to reduce the symptoms. It is recommended to
make more extensive scrotal support with cotton
pads to make it more comfortable. Patients with
solid pain symptoms can use painkillers and local
heat therapy to relieve symptoms and promote
inflammation subsidence.

14. However, it is not recommended to use heat therapy
too early because there is a risk of aggravating the
pain and ice and promoting infection. It is more
appropriate to use ice packs to apply heat locally in
the early stage.

15. 2. Antibacterial drugs
In the doctor's advice to choose the more sensitive
to bacteria medicines, in the intravenous
administration of a week to two weeks, you can take
oral antibacterial medication for 2 to 4 weeks, which
can play a preventive role—preventing the turn or
chronic inflammation.

16. 3. Surgical treatment
If medication is not practical, it is recommended to
go to a professional hospital for a more
comprehensive examination to consider whether
surgery is needed.

17. 4. Drug treatment therapy
The herbal medicine, Diuretic and Anti-inflammatory
Pill has the function of clearing heat and dampness,
draining liver and Qi, detoxifying and eliminating
carbuncles, which can quickly relieve scrotal pain,
eliminate inflammation of the epididymis, restore
the standard form and function of the epididymis,
and thus wholly cure inflammation of the
epididymis.
