Epididymitis is a non-specific infection of the male reproductive system, it is common in young and middle-aged people. The retrograde entry of pathogenic bacteria through the spermatic duct to the epididymis and causes inflammation, translymphatic and blood-borne infections are rare. Therefore, epididymitis is often secondary to urethritis and prostatovesiculitis.

Epididymitis has symptoms like high fever, chills, testicular pain, local scrotal swelling, testicular enlargement, and increased white blood cells. The clinical symptoms of orchitis are a small amount of white secretion of the urethra or dirty underwear, most patients will have systemic symptoms such as high fever, chills, nausea, and vomiting. The local symptoms are testicular pain, redness, and swelling of scrotum skin, and obvious testicular swelling and tenderness.

Although there are differences between the two diseases, but the symptoms are somewhat similar, orchitis is mostly caused by epididymitis spread directly to the testis or blood infection, so it is clinically called epididymic orchitis, it’s difficult for ordinary people to distinguish them, so it is recommended for patients to go to the hospital for examination before treatment.

If patients do not pay enough attention to these diseases, the diseases will cause greater harm, such as semen loss of kidney, loss of fertility function, risk of diseases, such as varicocele, prostatitis, endocrine diseases, etc., it may also cause male tumors, and even endanger the patient's life in serious cases and loss of sexual function and so on.

Therefore, if the patients are once diagnosed as orchitis and epididymitis, effective treatment should be taken. The treatment methods usually include routine drug therapy and surgical treatment. For patients with typical symptoms, if there are bacteria or Mycoplasma and Chlamydia are positive, it is suggested that sensitive antibiotics should be given priority for drug susceptibility test. If the patient has a testicular cyst and testicular nodule, it can be neglected in the case of mild illness. However, if its size is large and has obvious compressive pain, it can be resected surgically.

But for patients who take the routine medication with poor results, is there any better medication? Of course, patients can choose conservative traditional Chinese medicine therapy, such as Diuretic and Anti-inflammatory Pill. The treatment scope of Diuretics Pill includes epididymitis and orchitis.

On one hand, it can clear the testis and epididymis and cause pathological changes, effectively sterilize and eliminate inflammation. On the other hand, the formula of Diuretics Pill contains Chinese herbal ingredients such as Herba Polygoni Avicularis, Safflower, peach kernel, Chinese angelica, Radix Paeoniae Rubra in order to effectively eliminate the pain and swelling of testis and epididymis and treat them from aspects of pathogenic lesions.

However, positive treatment is a good thing, but positive maintenance of testis and epididymis, healthy eating habits and good living habits are more effective measures to keep away from orchitis and epididymitis.
