Epididymis is an important reproductive
organ of males. If it’s infected, it will cause many discomfort to men. Epididymitis
is the epididymis infecttion. The symptoms appear suddenly and patients can suffer
from discomfort like testicle pain and tenderness, swollen, red or
warm scrotum, painful intercourse or ejaculation, a lump on the testicle.
Patients with scrotal pain
or testicular require immediate examination in order to identify and quickly
treat potential cases of testicular torsion. Although most cases of torsion
occur in patients aged 12-18 years, testicular torsion should be considered in
any patient aged 12-30 years who presents with a scrotal complaint. Obtain
immediate urologic consultation if unable to clearly differentiate testicular
torsion from epididymitis or other scrotal pathology.
Epididymitis is treated with
antibiotic therapy, supportive care, and pain killers for pain control, which
includes scrotal elevation and support, application of an ice pack, and, in
some cases, spermatic cord block. Commonly, the disease can be cured within one
to two weeks. However, if left it untreated or if the treatment is not timely,
the acute epididymitis can develop into a chronic one. Under this situation,
the methods mentioned may take no effect.
Recently, a new medicine called Diuretic and Anti-inflammatory Pill has proven to have good curative effect on
curing this disease. This patented medicine is made from herbs so it will do no
harm to the body. The herbs in the pill have the functions of clearing away
heat and toxins, promoting the circulation of blood and qi, eliminating the
inflammation and pain. With the comprehensive functions, the root of the
disease can be cured radically. It’s an efficient treatment for chronic
epididymitis.
In addition to the
medication, patients should also pay more attention to their living habits,
such as no smoking and alcohol, no spicy and stimulating foods, avoid having
excessive sexual life. Having a healthy lifestyle can be beneficial to the
recovery of epididymitis.
