Cause and effect: Epididymis is the peripheral trailing edge of testis, and it is a temporary storage place for sperm after production. Epididymitis is more common in people around the age of 30, mostly because of delayed urinary tract infection by bacteria, which leads to bacteria entering epididymis through vas deferens. Often secondary to post-urethritis, prostatitis and seminal vesiculitis. The site can be unilateral or bilateral, and the attack time can be urgent or slow.

Your examination: the whole scrotum is red, swollen, hot and painful, sensitive to touch and burning when urinating. The scrotum hurts when it is still, and the symptoms are relieved when it lies on its back.

Doctor's treatment: Give you some antibiotics to relieve the acute pain. Then cold compress the testicles and pad them at the same time. You can use rolled socks or medical gauze under it.

Prevention of recidivism: Although the probability of male urinary tract infection is much lower than that of female urinary tract infection, once it happens, the consequences will be very serious. If you feel burning when urinating, you must see a doctor immediately.
