Epididymitis –Symptoms & Treatments

Epididymitis is an inflammation of the coiled tube (epididymis) at the back of the testicle that stores and carries sperm. Usually, Epididymitis is divided into two kinds: one is acute epididymitis, the other is chronic one.

What are the symptoms of these two different epididymitis?
Firstly, Acute epididymitis has often the feature: unexpected pain of scrotum, swelling of scrotum, especially of the scrotum that is on the very side of the epididymis that has been inflamed and of which the swelling is palpable, and that the inflamed epididymis becomes larger, swollen and hard by which in some part of it abscess might be induced which would cause sinus tract in the skin surface of the scrotum when the abscess is ruptured. And patients with the disease have painful urination, painful intercourse or ejaculation, chills and a fever may appear.
Nextly, chronic epididymitis does not show obvious external manifestations, concerned about this point, it is very different with acute epididymitis. However, when your touching the area of the scrotum of the patients, tumors may be found out in the inner of scrotum, in this case, the epididymis will become thicker and larger, and furthermore, some patients with the disease may have the feeling of tenderness. With reference to the internal structure and tissues, Chronic epididymitis may bring into fibrosis of epididymis and make the whole of that hardening, and might further lead to blockage of the duct of epididymis, infiltration of tissues by lymph-cells and plasma-cells and sometimes enlargement of the diameter of seminal duct thereof.

How is epididymitis treated?
As for epididymitis , it is usually caused by the infection of bacteria, then in order to treat chronic epididymitis, germicidal medicine must be a good choice.
In addition, Antibiotics will be often used for epididymitis. But the usage of the drugs is also different. Such as Ceftriaxone, Azithromycin, and Doxycycline ,they are suitable for young men, and Ciprofloxacin, Ofloxacin, Sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim are more beneficial to men who are older than 39.
