Epididymitis can be categorized into acute epididymitis and chronic epididymitis according to the course of the disease. Acute epididymitis is usually more treatable, while chronic epididymitis has a longer healing period, and some patients have prolonged treatment, and the condition may recur. Epididymitis is a common inflammatory disease of the male reproductive system, mostly seen in young and middle-aged men who are sexually active. Bacterial infection is the most common causative factor, which mainly manifests as swelling and pain in the epididymis. Patients with epididymitis generally have a better prognosis after receiving timely and effective antibacterial drugs such as gentamicin and erythromycin. All the above drugs need to pay attention to the side effects and adverse reactions of the drugs, please use the above drugs under the guidance of a doctor. However, if you do not pay attention to the symptoms and do not receive timely and reasonable treatment, it is easy to spread to the testicles and other parts of the body. If acute epididymitis is left untreated for a long period of time, it may become chronic epididymitis and the prognosis will be worse. In some patients, epididymitis is more serious and may involve testicles or affect their blood transportation, leading to testicular ischemia and atrophy, even causing infertility. It is suggested that patients with epididymitis should be treated timely, take good care of local care in daily life, pay attention to personal hygiene to avoid aggravation or spread of inflammation.
