Testicles Hurt! Beware of Epididymitis!
Men's testicles themselves rarely hurt for no reason. If you feel pain, you should seek medical attention in time. Epididymitis is a type of male disease. Young men are the high-risk group for this disease. The cause of this disease is caused by bacterial infection. Experts remind everyone that once this disease occurs, timely diagnosis and treatment should be carried out.
So, does epididymitis mean testicular pain?
Epididymitis is a common male disease in young adults. When the body's resistance is low, it will be invaded by bacteria or other pathogens. It usually starts with acute epididymitis. Patients may have a sudden high fever, elevated white blood cells, scrotal distention and heaviness, and varying degrees of referred pain in the lower abdomen and groin, especially when standing or walking.
Most of the symptoms of acute epididymitis are apparent and may gradually disappear after a week. If the patient does not receive active symptomatic treatment, the disease will develop into a chronic illness, which will cause more harm to the patient and may cause secondary hydrocele. So, patients should seek prompt treatment for epididymitis.
Knowing more about epididymitis can help men prevent this disease in daily life. So, what is the cause of epididymitis disease?
Four Major Causes of Epididymitis
1. Low Body Resistance
Epididymitis is more common in young and middle-aged men. It has a lot to do with the decline of the body's resistance caused by men's work and study pressure, excessive fatigue, and irregular life in this age group. Pathogens often take the opportunity to invade the epididymis and cause inflammation. Men can improve their resistance by maintaining a healthy and balanced diet, eating fewer sweets and fried greasy food, and often doing outdoor sports.
2. Improper Perineal Environment
Most men's underwear is double-layered on the front, which wraps the penis and scrotum together, resulting in long-term high temperature and humidity in the perineum, which is easy to breed bacteria, cause urinary tract infections and lead to epididymitis.
3. Secondary to Other Urogenital Infections
The most common pathogenic bacteria that cause epididymitis are Escherichia coli and Glucococcus. These bacteria usually come from other inflammations of the urogenital system and enter the epididymis through the vas deferens and then multiply inside the epididymis to cause epididymitis. In addition, transurethral instrumentation and frequent catheterization are also common causes of acute epididymitis.
4. Bad Living Habits
Sitting or cycling for a long time can compress the epididymis, affecting its blood circulation and making it prone to inflammation. People who have an irregular sex life, often hold back ejaculation, or have interrupted sexual intercourse are prone to epididymitis. Excessive drinking and eating a lot of spicy food can aggravate the symptoms of prostatitis and induce epididymitis.
All in all, epididymitis is a common cause of testicular pain. In addition to testicular pain, patients usually suffer from testicular swelling, local skin temperature increase, and apparent tenderness. Of course, there are various reasons for testicular pain. Patients should go to an authoritative hospital for a physical examination in time to know the exact cause and carry out effective treatment.
If the pain is caused by epididymitis, it can be treated with Diuretic and Anti-inflammatory Pill, herbal medicine that clears heat, detoxifies, promotes blood circulation, and removes blood stasis. Its pure plant formula can mildly and effectively kill the pathogens that cause epididymis infections, and long-term use of this medicine will not produce drug resistance.
