How to treat acute epididymitis? Many male friends do not understand what acute epididymitis is. Experts from Taiyuan Zhongshan Hospital introduced that: Acute epididymitis is a nonspecific infection of the epididymis and is the most common infectious disease in the scrotum. It is often caused by retrograde infection along the vas deferens due to posterior urethritis, prostatitis, and seminal vesicle inflammation, while hematogenous infection is rare. Patients with acute epididymitis should be treated early to prevent it from turning into chronic epididymitis.
The symptoms of acute epididymitis are mostly manifested as sudden pain in the scrotum, which can radiate to the inguinal region and the lumbosacral area. Regarding the symptoms of acute epididymitis, the pain is usually severe, with obvious tenderness and refusal to press. The swelling progresses rapidly and can double the volume of the epididymis within 3-4 hours. The body temperature can reach around 40℃, and there may be secretions in the urethra, which may be accompanied by cystitis, making the urine turbid.
In the inguinal region of patients with acute epididymitis, there is tenderness, the scrotum enlarges, and the local skin becomes red and swollen. If an abscess forms, the skin will become dry and thin, and easily fall off. The abscess can also rupture spontaneously. If seen in time, the enlarged and hardened epididymis and testis have relatively clear boundaries. However, several hours later, the testis and epididymis will become one hard lump, and the spermatic cord will become thicker due to edema. Secondary testicular hydrocele appears a few days later, and there may be secretions in the urethra.
There are many methods for treating acute epididymitis, but the key is to treat it according to the symptoms. Therefore, when male friends suffer from acute epididymitis, they should go to a regular hospital for diagnosis and treatment as early as possible.
