Patients With Epididymitis Have Sex, Any Problems??

Epididymitis has always been a headache for male friends. Because the location of the disease is relatively private, many patients in the early stage of the disease did not notice. It becomes chronic epididymitis, which increases the difficulty of treatment.

Epididymitis is a common male disease, most of which are caused by bacteria attached to the epididymis. It can be divided into the acute phase and the chronic stage.

Acute epididymitis is characterized by rapid onset, high fever, pain on the affected side of scrotum, heaviness, groin pain, and deterioration when standing or walking. The epididymis of the affected side is swollen with apparent tenderness.

When the scope of inflammation is broad, the epididymis and testis are swollen and the boundary between the two is not clear, which is called epididymal-orchitis. The spermatic cord on the affected side is thickened and soft. Generally speaking, the acute symptoms will gradually subside after a week.

Chronic epididymitis is more common than acute epididymitis. Some patients become chronic because they are not completely cured in the acute phase. However, most patients do not have a definite acute phase, and inflammation is secondary to chronic prostatitis or injury. Patients often feel scrotal side pain and swelling. The pain often involving the lower abdomen and ipsilateral inguinal. Sometimes, it will be combined with a secondary hydrocele.

During the examination, the epididymis usually has varying degrees of enlargement and sclerosis, mild tenderness, and thickening of the same side of the vas deferens.

So, can people with epididymitis have sexual life?

That's not the case. Don't have a sexual life with an acute epididymitis patient. Because the epididymis is in the inflammatory state of hyperemia and edema, sexual life will aggravate the swelling of epididymis, thus hindering the regression of inflammation.

In the beginning, the number of sex should not be too frequent. Epididymitis is usually prone to relapse because the bacteria in the finely twisted epididymis are not easily eliminated. If you have too much sex, the bacteria can infect again and cause inflammation. Due to long-term sexual life, sperm will accumulate in the epididymis, so the epididymis is in a filling state, which can also lead to congestion.

Chronic epididymitis has little effect on sexual function. However, because the epididymis has been stimulated and hardened by inflammation for a long time when the sexual life reaches the climax, the epididymis and vas deferens will contract, and there will be painful. Sometimes, the pain lasts for a while after sexual life. As a result, the quality of sexual experience is disturbed.

In short, whether it's acute or chronic epididymitis, you need to be careful in your sex life. Sex depends on the circumstances and needs to be restrained, but not abstinence.

Treatment of chronic epididymitis. According to traditional Chinese medicine, the main inflammatory location of epididymis is the epididymis, and the main pathogenesis is liver meridian dampness heat stasis. The treatment should be based on clearing the liver, removing dampness, removing blood stasis and relieving pain.

In the early stage, taking traditional Chinese medicine for treatment, such as herbal medicine Diuretic and Anti-inflammatory Pill, can improve testicular microcirculation and reduce fibrous tissue formation around the epididymis and vas deferens, so as to reduce the occurrence of chronic epididymitis. Meanwhile, it improves your immunity and self-healing ability, builds up a defense against bacteria and infections, to prevent this disease from recurring again.

Through the above introduction, we know that epididymitis still has an impact on sexual life, but it does not mean that sexual life cannot be carried out. We should have moderate sex and maintain good personal hygiene habits during and after sex, change underwear frequently so that epididymitis can be cured as soon as possible.
