What’s the Real Chronic Epididymitis Symptoms?

The epididymis is a series of small tubes attached to the back of each testicle that collects and stores sperm. One of the most common causes of pain in the scrotum is epididymitis, which is an infection and associated inflammation of these coiled tubes. It is usually a secondary bacterial infection that can be triggered by a range of conditions, such as a urinary tract infection or a sexually transmissible infection. The tube carries urine and sperm from the penis. Then the bacteria in the urethra move through the urinary and reproductive structures to the epididymis.

A lump on the testicle
Painful urination or an urgent or frequent need to urinate
Discharge from the penis
Painful intercourse or ejaculation

Chronic epididymitis

Epididymitis that lasts longer than six weeks or that recurs would be considered chronic epididymitis. Symptoms of chronic epididymitis might come on gradually.

Treatment options include antibiotics and bed rest. Some men develop chronic epididymitis, which is inflammation even when there is no infection.

When to see a doctor

Never ignore scrotal pain or swelling. Scrotal pain can be caused by many conditions, and some of them require immediate treatment to avoid permanent damage.

Don’t put it off. If scrotal pain is severe, seek emergency treatment, never hesitate. Go and see a doctor if you have discharge from your penis or pain when you urinate. Then, once you got the chronic epididymitis, you can take Diuretic and Anti-inflammatory Pill which is invented by Dr. Lee from Wuhan Dr. Lee’s TCM clinic, best wishes.
