General description of the disease

Epididymitis is an inflammatory process that occurs in the epididymis, which causes swelling, edema and hyperemia in the scrotal region.

Epididymitis can occur in acute (the disease is cured within 6 weeks) and chronic (lasts more than half a year) forms. In case of untimely treatment or its absence, orchitis joins the epididymitis and then the disease will be called “epididymo-orchitis”.

Allocate sinistral (the most common form of the disease), right-handed and reversible epididymitis.

Causes:

entry of viruses, bacteria, infections, fungi that are sexually transmitted (for example, gardnerella, Trichomonas, chlamydia, gonorrhea);
using urinary catheters;
severe forms of prostatitis, urethritis;
complication after the transferred mumps (mumps), with tuberculosis;
adenoma;
low level of immunity.
having anal sex (infection with Escherichia coli or fecal bacteria);
sexual intercourse performed on a full bladder (occurs due to the reverse flow of urine);
sterilization of a man.

Ways of infection in the epididymis:

1 through the blood (hematogenous) – the cause is the presence or transfer of tonsillitis, furunculosis, sepsis, hemorrhoids and other infectious diseases;
2 through lymph (lymphogenous) – the infection enters the epididymis through the outflow of lymph;
3 through the vas deferens (canalicular is the most common way of infection);
4 secretory (presence of orchitis).

The risk group includes guys and men from 15 to 30 years old and men who have reached 60 years old. In childhood, this disease is generally not observed.
