Epididymitis is an inflammatory reaction of the epididymis caused by infection of the epididymis by pathogenic microorganisms and trauma. The epididymis may become enlarged and painful to the touch, and in severe cases, symptoms such as chills, fever, and suppuration may occur.
Bacterial infection is the most common form of epididymitis. Epididymitis is mainly divided into acute epididymitis and chronic epididymitis according to the course of the disease. Acute epididymitis has a sudden onset, with sudden testicular enlargement, pain and even fever. Chronic epididymitis is mainly due to incomplete treatment of acute epididymitis, mild enlargement of the epididymis, hardening, persistent pain.
For epididymitis patients need to go to the local regular public hospital in time, under the guidance of the doctor treatment.
