Epididymitis is the most common inflammatory disease in the scrotum, and it can happen at any age. This disease has been found much more in young adult, but many middle-aged and old people suffer from this disease too. Its’ etiology is not clear by now. Most acute epididymis is according to clinical testing analysis has connection with infections. Generally speaking this disease is associated with urinary tract infection or inflammation of the prostate. how do you treat epididymitis? Anti-inflammatory treatment must be taken, and common medicine is levofloxacin tablets. Chronic epididymitis can be composed by acute inflammation if there is any delay in treatment, but most people have no history of acute episodes. Chronic epididymitis has often found to be accompanied by chronic prostatitis.

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

The acute epididymitis happened to man suddenly, we should suggest people pay attention to the following symptoms: high fever; elevation of white blood cell; lateral scrotal tenderness; feeling sinking; has referred pain around lower abdomen and groin; pain increased while standing or walking, one side epididymal enlargement and have obvious tenderness; when inflammation scope is larger, epididymis and testes were swollen, the two boundaries is not clear, this is called epididymal orchitis. In this condition the according side of the spermatic cord would be enlarged, also have tenderness. Under normal circumstances, the acute symptoms may fade after a week.

Although chronic epididymitis is much more common, and it is transferred from acute epididymitis, but for most patients, there is no obvious symptom for acute epididymitis. Inflammation arises from chronic prostatitis or injury. Patients often suffer from lateral scrotal ache, the feel of pain is often involved in lower abdomen and ipsilateral inguinal, sometimes may find secondary hydrocele. When checking the epididymis often found to be harden and had mild tenderness in some degree, and ipsilateral vas deferens enlargement.

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 pays 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 during anti-inflammatory treatment, also should try some Chinese medicine to boost the body's immune function. Diuretic and anti-inflammatory pieces are developed under such ideas after about ten years of clinical research, and we hope this can help those patients.
