What are the hazards of epididymitis to men? There are folk prescriptions for treating epididymitis

Perhaps many friends don't know what epididymitis is. Epididymitis is actually a very harmful male disease. What are the hazards of epididymitis to men? Let's introduce the harm of epididymitis to men.

In recent years, the incidence of infectious diseases, especially gonococcal epididymitis, has increased year by year due to many young and middle-aged men's heavy work pressure, overwork, more nightlife, physical decline or improper sexual life.

When acute epididymitis is not treated properly or occurs repeatedly, chronic epididymitis can form. Chronic epididymitis has no obvious symptoms, with different clinical manifestations. It may have local discomfort, swelling, and scrotal pain, sometimes with acute symptoms. On the examination side, hard swelling of the epididymis can be palpated, or only hard nodules of the epididymis can be palpated, without tenderness or mild tenderness. The boundaries of the testes are clear, the vas deferens and spermatic cords thicken, and white blood cells in semen and prostate increase.

Lifting the scrotum can alleviate pain

Epididymitis should pay attention to bed rest, raise the scrotum, apply cold packs or ice locally, drink more water, eat less spicy food, and do not hold urine. The purpose of improving the scrotum is to improve the position of the scrotum, epididymis, and testes, relax the spermatic cord, reduce traction pain caused by swelling of the testes and epididymis, improve local blood and lymphatic circulation, reduce local edema, and alleviate symptoms. The method of lifting the scrotum is to lie flat, place a pillow under the scrotum, and place the scrotum at the joint level of the pubic bone or higher; Standing, place a cotton pad under the scrotum and use elastic underwear to pull upwards, but avoid squeezing the scrotum.

Epididymis: Sperm forming workshop

We all know that the testes are the place where sperm is produced, but we may not know that the sperm produced by the testes are only semi-finished products, and these sperm must be further processed in the epididymis. Although the testicles can produce hundreds of millions of sperm per day, sperm like tadpoles do not have the ability to fertilize. However, they must stay in the epididymis for 2 to 3 weeks, continuously absorb nutrients secreted by the epididymis wall, such as carnitine, and continue to develop into mature sperm with the ability to move and fertilize. Only in this way can we fall in love with eggs.

The epididymis is an important male gonad. The epididymis should be secreted through sperm transport, sperm maturation, sperm storage, and gonadal hormones. If the testicles are removed (such as feudal eunuchs), sexual function and fertility will be lost.
