Epididymitis can occur in men ages 15 to 45-year-old young adults is a good-risk population. In recent years. With so many young men work pressure, fatigue, nightlife and more deterioration in health, or sex life is not indecent, sexually transmitted infections, especially gonococcal epididymitis, so that the incidence of epididymitis increased year by year.
Jing Road (including the prostate, seminal vesicles, vas deferens) retrograde infection of the main transmission route for the epididymitis, pathogenic bacteria retrograde into the epididymis through the vas deferens leading to infection, especially at the same time suffering from prostatitis and seminal vesicles during inflammation.
According to the condition Ji Huan, epididymitis is divided into two kinds of acute epididymitis and chronic epididymitis. The former more acute onset, patients with acute scrotal pain and swelling, pain along the vas deferens radiation to the groin and waist, the rapid enlargement of the epididymis, 3 to 4 hours can be doubled swelling, pain intensified, and often high fever chills, and other systemic symptoms, body temperature can reach 40 degrees Celsius, accompanied by nausea and vomiting. Sometimes accompanied by urinary frequency, urgency, dysuria and other urinary tract irritation, a few patients have pyuria, hematuria symptoms. Ipsilateral scrotum skin irritation obvious tenderness, ipsilateral groin and lower abdomen can also be tenderness, swelling of the epididymis, quality hardware. If there will be fluctuations in the formation of local abscess flu, epididymal abscess, ulceration of the skin surface after the formation of sinus in the scrotum. Routine laboratory tests white blood cell increase, urine culture, or urethral discharge train bacterial growth. If the patient the above symptoms and signs, combined with laboratory test results may be diagnosed as acute epididymitis.
When the improper treatment of acute epididymitis or repeated attacks, they will form a chronic epididymitis. Chronic epididymitis more no obvious symptoms, clinical manifestations vary, may have local discomfort, bulge, and scrotal pain, sometimes with acute onset of symptoms, check the quality of ipsilateral palpable hard swelling of the epididymis, or only touched on the harder epididymis nodules, no tenderness or mild tenderness, and testicular sector-ching, vas deferens and the spermatic cord thickening, semen and prostatic fluid white blood cells increased.
Hold up the scrotum relieve pain
Got epididymitis should be noted that bed rest, scrotal elevation, ice packs or ice cubes with local cooling, more water, eat less spicy food, do not holding back urine. The purpose is to raise the scrotum within the epididymis to the scrotum and testicular position improved, spermatic cord relaxation, to reduce swelling of testis and epididymis, caused by the pain involved, but also makes the local blood and lymph circulation improved, local edema can be reduced and the symptoms ease. Hold up scrotal approach is supine, side pillow cushions the bottom of the scrotum, the scrotum or re-placed in the level of pubic symphysis higher; standing position, in the squee
Epididymis: sperm, "forming" workshop
We all know that testosterone is to produce sperm in places, but probably do not understand testicular sperm production is only semi-finished products, these sperm must be further processed in the epididymis. Although the testes to produce 100 million sperm per day could be the shape of tadpoles do not have the time of sperm fertilization capacity, he had to stay in the epididymis, 2 to 3 weeks, constantly absorbing nutrients secreted by epididymal wall, such as carnitine , continue to develop until maturity, has the athletic ability and develop into mature sperm fertilization ability. So we have the ability and eggs love each other.
Epididymis is an important male gonads, sperm transport, sperm mature, sperm storage and secretion of gonadal hormones go through the epididymis. If you remove the testicle (such as the feudal era of eunuch) will lose their sexual function and fertility.
Epididymitis: resisting war wounds left by
Epididymal sperm, not only in manufacturing have a special contribution, and that he was a man lifeblood - the protection of God testis. When the men got infected with bacterial urethritis, prostatitis, Vesiculitis, mumps, these bacteria could be infringing on a man's testicles, but those outside in an attempt to harass the testis through the epididymis pathogen first hurdle. To thwart an "intruder" bacteria, the human development of the "operational program" First of all to the epididymis as the main battleground against invaders. A large number of human body guard - white blood cells dispatched to the epididymis, and those who dare to invade the enemy launched the athletic field, so the epididymis here is "brought up again," a large number of white soldiers heroic sacrifice, this often being more or less epididymal injury, even terminal one, which is often said medical epididymitis. Disease is more common in young adults 20 to 40 years old, at a time when the peak period of fertility of men, thus, to a potential threat to male fertility is very significant.
Epididymitis: Why take away reproductive rights of anti-sperm
on sperm lethality, the disease is much greater than the prostate. Flyover in Beijing, male infertility clinic in the hospital, doctors discovered that many patients with epididymitis closely related. Epididymitis exactly what the means to make, so that undetected violations of rights of sperm?
