Epididymitis is a non-specific infectious disease of the male reproductive system. There is no clear evidence that smoking is contraindicated, but patients are usually advised to avoid smoking.
Strictly speaking, smoking does not have a direct effect on the development, progression and treatment of epididymitis, so there is no clear contraindication to smoking in patients with epididymitis. Cigarettes contain nicotine and other toxic substances that are harmful to the human body, which can affect the body organs and are not conducive to health, so it is usually recommended not to smoke.
In addition, people with this disease are also recommended to do a good job of personal hygiene, change underwear in a timely manner; pay attention to rest and avoid staying up late; avoid squeezing the scrotum; avoid sex before full recovery; avoid spicy and stimulating food, and so on.
To summarize, patients with epididymitis should not smoke, take medication as prescribed by the doctor and pay attention to the review, if there is any abnormality, consult the doctor in time.
