Prevention of Epididymitis

Epididymitis refers to the inflammation of epididymis. Epididymis is an important reproductive organ of men. Because epididymis is linked with testicle and seminiferous duct, the inflammation of epididymis can spread into testicle and seminiferous duct. After sperm is produced by testicle, the immature sperm needs to be transported into epididymis and develops in epididymis until it grows into maturity. This means the transportation, storage and maturity of sperm are all closely related with epididymis. The occurrence of epididymitis will change the internal environment of epididymis and influence the quality and vitality of sperm. That’s why epididymitis can cause male infertility. To prevent the occurrence of male infertility, the prevention of epididymitis is very essential.

To prevent the occurrence of epididymitis, we can start from the following aspects.

1. Pay enough attention to personal hygiene.

Many kinds of inflammatory diseases including epididymitis can be caused by the infection of pathogens from the outside. To prevent the invasion of pathogens, enough attention should be paid to personal hygiene, especially the hygiene of the private parts. Many pathogens invade into the internal reproductive organs from the external reproductive organs. Therefore, males should clean their lower body to prevent the bacterial invasion.  

2. Have health sexual life.

Having sexual life too early in the youth and having unhealthy sexual life will add up to the morbidity of many kinds of male reproductive system diseases including epididymitis. Therefore to prevent epididymitis and other male reproductive system diseases, the health of sexual life should be taken seriously.  

3. Keep a healthy life style.

A balanced diet, regular work and rest, appropriate exercise and other good habits can strengthen the resistance and immunity of the body and prevent the occurrence of epididymitis. In contrast, drinking alcohol, smoking, staying up late at night, sitting for a long time all day without exercise and other bad habits can add up to the morbidity of epididymitis.

4. Keep a positive mind.

No matter how many troubles and pressures you have to face every day, a positive mind can help you deal with these better. Anxiety, worry, depression and other negative emotions can only weaken both the mental health and the physical health of us. Therefore men should try to keep a positive mind for the prevention of epididymitis.

These are some prevention measures for epididymitis. If males follow these advice, the morbidity of epididymitis can be reduced. If epididymitis already happened, Chinese herbal medicine Diuretic and Anti-inflammation Pill can be applied for the treatment. The herbs in the pill can provide good effect to cure the symptoms as well the root causes.

Causes and Treatment of Epididymitis

Epididymitis is a kind of male reproductive disease. Young and middle-aged men are more likely to suffer from epididymitis. The clinic symptoms of epididymitis include pain in scrotum, red and swelling, obvious tenderness, and hardening of epididymis. And patients with acute epididymitis can have general symptoms of fever, aversion to cold and so on.

Epididymis is responsible for storing and carrying sperm. Thus, the occurrence of epididymitis can block the transportation of sperm and bring bad influence to the storage and development of sperm. So the quality and vitality of sperm will be reduced. If not treated in time with appropriate treatment method, epididymitis can even lead to male infertility.

Here are the major causes of epididymitis:

1. Weakened resistance and immunity

As the pace of life becomes faster and faster, the pressure of men become heavier and heavier. Overwork and high pressure can reduce the resistance and immunity of men, thus giving more chance to the pathogens to invade into the body and cause diseases such as epididymitis.

2. Influence of other kinds of reproductive system and urinary system diseases

Epididymitis often occurs as a kind of complication of other kinds of reproductive system and urinary system diseases such as urinary tract inflammation, prostatitis, spermatocystitis and so on. And the occurrence of epididymitis can lead to these reproductive system and urinary system diseases in return. So the treatment of any kind of reproductive system and urinary system disease should be taken seriously in case other kinds of reproductive system and urinary system diseases may be induced by just a kind of disease.

3. External environment of perineal region

Some men prefer to wear tight underpants. The materials of some kinds of underpants are not ventilated. These factors will make the external environment of perineal region damp and hot, which can promote the growth of bacterium. This will add up to the morbidity of male kinds of reproductive system and urinary system diseases including epididymitis.

4. Bad living habits

Bad living habits such as having sex too frequently, drinking alcohol, smoking, massive intake of spicy food and so on will influence the blood circulation and add up to the chance of male diseases including epididymitis.

These are the major causes of epididymitis. Males need to pay more attention to these factors and stay away from epididymitis. For patients with epididymitis, we recommend Chinese herbal medicine Diuretic and Anti-inflammation Pill. As a new Chinese medicine, it has multiple functions, including clearing away heat and toxins, removing inflammation, promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, regulating qi-flowing to relieving stagnation, and so on.
