6 Helpful Dietotherapies for Epididymitis

Epididymitis is a common male disease. Epididymitis can be divided into acute and chronic. Acute epididymitis is caused by infection of the patient's urinary system and spreads to the epididymis along the vas deferens. Chronic epididymitis is caused by acute epididymitis without suitable treatment.

In acute epididymitis, patients will have sudden high fever, scrotum swelling and pain, and heavy falling feeling symptoms. Chronic epididymitis will have the symptoms of dull pain and swelling in the scrotum on the affected side.

If the patient has epididymitis repeatedly, the possibility of a ureteral opening in the seminal vesicle should be considered. The common bacteria causing epididymitis are Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus, and Mycobacterium tuberculosis, gonococcus, and Chlamydia also often cause epididymitis.

Epididymis plays a role in protecting the male testis and promoting sperm maturation. If epididymitis occurs, it will have a particular impact on male sexual function. It's natural to treat a disease, but many treatment processes are not easy—injections, operations, etc., in western medicine. The decoction made from traditional Chinese medicine is too difficult to swallow. Both physically and mentally.
