Epididymitis Diet: Food Items To Limit and Allow
Epididymitis is a common disease among young and middle-aged people. When the immune system is weak, e.coli, staphylococcus, streptococcus, and other pathogenic bacteria will enter the vas deferens, retrograde, and then invade the epididymis, causing inflammation.
If infected with epididymitis, men should be checked in time to identify the cause and then take symptomatic treatments. Because epididymitis is a male reproductive and infectious disease that severely impacts the male reproductive system, if not promptly treated, it may lead to male infertility and other problems.
