Generally speaking, this disease is associated with urinary tract infection or inflammation of the prostate. Chronic epididymitis can be developed by acute inflammation if there is any delay in treatment, but most patients have no history of acute episodes . Chronic epididymitis has often found to be accompanied by chronic prostatitis. A proper treatment of epididymitis is needed.

Obvious signs of acute epididymitis is sudden pain in scrotal place, epididymis swelling rapidly, and tenderness obviously. Sometimes it may be accompanied by fever, etc. Without completely treatment acute phase would be converted into chronic epididymitis . Sometimes patietns will find epididymis scleroma, feel drop around scrotum, pain and discomfort around lower abdomen, etc.

From the perspective of the anatomy, there is no difference between traditional Chinese medicine and western medicine, for they have same understanding about disease. Because in the early of embryonic development, reproductive cell differentiation from the kidneys. So traditional Chinese medicine always think the reproductive and urinary system is closely associated. From the perspective of the treatment, the traditional Chinese medicine pay more attention to diuresis and making kidney strong, to help the body's own immune system to fight against germs. This idea can be used as a useful supplement of anti-inflammatory therapy. So we advocate Chinese medicine during anti-inflammatory treatment, for it can boost the body's immune system. Diuretic and Anti-inflammatory Pill is developed under such ideas after about ten years of clinical research, it has already successfully cured many sufferers with epididymitis.
