Epididymis is the region where sperm undergo maturation process and are stored. It has many corresponding physiological functions with sperm maturation and capacitation. Epididymis is a slender tube collected more than ten efferent ducts on top of rear testicles and entwined to inferior pole of testis. Sperm formed in the testis process epididymis for 2 weeks to be completely mature and finally reach the cauda region, where they are stored.
Epididymal inflammation would affect epididymal functions and change internal environment. As a result, sperm maturation and fertility would be affected. If
epididymitis occurs and lumen is of hyperemia and edema because epididymis is infected with pathogenic microorganism unfortunately, a variety of nutritional substances secreted by epididymis would decrease, sperm capacitation weaken obviously, sperm motility be low and necrosperm increase. All those factors would lead to oligospermia and
necrospermia.
"
Diuretic and Anti-inflammatory Pill" developed by Dr. Lee's Clinic in Wuhan after many years of clinical research is a kind of Chinese medicine to cure epididymitis,
orchitis and necrospermia, oligospermia, male infertility, etc resulted from epididymitis.
"Diuretic and Anti-inflammatory Pill" can dissipate hard lumps, promote blood circulation and dissolve stasis, reduce swelling and release pain, clear away heat and toxic material and kill pathogene such as bacteria and viruse. Acute epididymitis can be cured successfully with "Diuretic and Anti-inflammatory Pill" in 5-10 days! It would take about 4 months to cure chronic epididymitis because of tissue sclerosis, thickening and blockage of duct if necrospermia, oligospermia, male infertility have been caused by epididymitis. It’s impossible to cure it if tissue necrosis and severe duct blockage result in azoospermia. Therefore, epididymis should be cured early and actively.
Acute epididymitis sufferers would be pyrogenic suddenly with increase of leukocyte count, swelling and pain in ipsilateral scrotum and referred pain in hypogastrium and groin which would exacerbate while standing or walking. Ipsilateral epididymis would be enlarged with remarkable tenderness. When the range of inflammation is large, both epididymis and testicle would be swelling and can not be distinguished clearly, then it is called epididymo-orchitis. Ipsilateral spermatic cord would be thickened with remarkable tenderness. acute symptoms can subside gradually in a week under normal circumstances, Marriage bed should be avoid before cure to prevent hyperemia and edema of epididymis and condition exacerbating. "Diuretic and Anti-inflammatory Pill" would promote blood circulation and dissolve stasis, clear away heat and toxic material, and reduce swelling and release pain in 5-10 days.So it has a great effect on acute epididymitis.
Patients should attach importance to nursing work to control the condition. Too much sexual intercourse after curing epididymitis would make bacteria resurge and patients suffer again. But it’s unnecessary to utterly inhibit sexual desire.Because sperm would accumulate in epididymis without it for a long time. Then epididymis would be in the filling state, and this would lead to hyperemia and edema of epididymis, too. In a word, no matter acute or chronic, epididymitis should be cured completely and moderate sexual life is good to prevent recurrence.
Epididymitis can occur in one or both sides, and mostly one side. Acute epididymitis occurs from cauda commonly. Epididymal duct is edematous and desquamated; purulent discharge would be in lumen and enter corpus and caput by infiltration of stroma, then microabscess is formed. Advanced cicatrical tissue can cause epididymal obliteration, so bilateral epididymitis often results in infertility. Patients should improve diet structure and prevent intake of food with hypercholesterolemia. "Red meat " (referring to meat with higher cholesterol such as pork, beef, mutton, etc) should be taken less and "white meat "(referring to meat with lower cholesterol such as chicken, fish, etc) more; it’s good to prevent prostatoplasia. The patients would get well early as long as they are treated actively.
