Varicocele and testicular function impairment and infertility are closely related and are usually more serious than epididymitis, but epididymitis can also have serious consequences if left untreated.
Varicose veins are most common in young adults and are caused by abnormal tortuosity and dilatation of the venous plexus in the scrotum, etc. Studies have shown that varicose veins are closely related to impairment of testicular function and male infertility, and therefore are generally more serious than epididymitis. The primary treatment for varicocele is surgery.
Epididymitis can be categorized into acute and chronic epididymitis, which can also have serious consequences if it is not treated in time. Acute epididymitis can cause high fever, pain and enlargement of the epididymis; chronic epididymitis can cause scrotal distension and pain, and if chronic epididymitis occurs bilaterally, it can also cause male infertility. The treatment of epididymitis is mainly symptomatic treatment and anti-infection.
Whether it is varicocele or epididymitis, it is necessary to seek medical treatment in time.
