Index Illustration Epididymitis is an inflammation of the epididymis. The epididymis is the tube through which sperm passes. The tube is located at the back of each testicle. Epididymitis can affect both testicles, but it most often occurs on just one side. Epididymitis is caused by bacterial infections, such as: urinary tract infections sexually transmitted diseases such as chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis

Extractions: Definition Epididymitis is inflammation or infection of the epididymis. In this long coiled tube attached to the upper part of each testicle, sperm mature and are stored before ejaculation. Description Epididymitis is the most common cause of pain in the scrotum. The acute form is usually associated with the most severe pain and swelling. If symptoms last for more than six weeks after treatment begins, the condition is considered chronic. Epididymitis can occur any time after the onset of puberty but is most common between the ages of 18 and 40. It is especially common among members of the military who exercise for extended periods without emptying their bladders. Factors that increase the risk of developing epididymitis include: Causes and symptoms Although epididymitis can be caused by the same organisms that cause some sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) or occur after prostate surgery, the condition is generally due to pus-generating bacteria associated with infections in other parts of the body.

Medical Encyclopedia Male Reproductive System Acute epididymitis causes swelling of the scrotum, pain in the testicles, and sometimes a fever of six weeks duration or less (usually with a gradual onset over several days). If not treated, or in some other cases, the condition can become chronic. In chronic cases, there is usually no swelling, but simply pain. The incidence is approximately 600,000 cases per year. The highest prevalence is in young men 19 to 35 years of age. The disorder is a major cause of hospital admissions in the military (causing approximately 20% of admissions).

Extractions: Epididymitis is a medical condition where the epididymis becomes inflammed and very painful Urinary tract infections are the most common cause, although it can also be caused by a Gonorrhoea infection. There are two forms of epididymitis - accute epididymitis and chronic epididymitis. Accute epididymitis is typically treated with a regimen of antibiotics and bed rest. Chronic epididymitis is epididymitis which lasts past the first treatment. Typically, a second, longer round of treatment is used. As a last resort, surgery can be employed.

Extractions: Epididymitis Advertising Epididymitis (EP-ih-DID-ee-MY-tis) is an infection of the epididymis, a tube located behind the testicle. The infection is common in men 19 to 35 years old. The problem may start with an infection of the bladder or prostate gland. The infection is sometimes contracted through sexual contact. The usual symptoms are fever, pain, redness, and swelling of the scrotum and painful urination. You also may feel a lump in your scrotum. Your doctor will prescribe an antibiotic to fight the infection. Rest until you feel better, and follow the directions listed below. Rest in bed until fever, pain, and swelling go down. The testicle may stay swollen and hard for several days or even a few weeks. If your doctor prescribes an antibiotic to fight the infection, take it exactly as directed and finish the entire prescription. If you stop taking the drug too soon, a few germs may survive and re-infect you.

The pain may have a rapid onset and may radiate along the spermatic cord and even reach the flank. The scrotum is usually swollen and red. The enlarged hardened epididymis may be palpable, but usually cannot be clinically distinguished from the testis. Acute epididymitis Two main types of acute epididymis are recognized: a sexually transmitted form seen in young men, due to chlamydia or gonococci and a nonsexually transmitted form in older men with prostate hyperplasia, prostatitis or urinary tract infection due to enterobacteria or pseudomonas . Older men who have undergone transurethral prostatectomy may also develop epididymitis, since resection in the region of the verumontanum may allow reflux of infected urine into the vas deferens. Ultrasound (US) is the primary imaging modality, and is particularly helpful in the distinction of acute epididymitis from testicular torsion, which is of critical importance in management. At US, the head and body of the epididymis are enlarged and exhibit altered echogenicity (

Clinically, patients with epididymitis present with acute scrotal pain and tenderness, pyrexia, dysuria, pyuria, and urethral discharge. Sonography is useful in excluding testicular torsion, which also presents as acute scrotal pain. The epididymis is seen to be enlarged and often hypoechoic, though acute epididymitis may also be hyperechoic. A reactive hydrocoele is commonly present, and suppuration within the epididymis may spread and result in pyelocoele formation. Focal hypoechoic areas suggest abscess formation. Chronic epididymitis may present as a painless, nodular, palpable mass that is hyperechoic on sonography.

Disorders Of The Penis And Scrotum Topics [General] Disorders Of The Penis Disorders Of The Scrotum Genital Trauma Disorders Of The Scrotum (See also Complications under Mumps in Viral Infections in Ch. 265.) Scrotal disorders may be due to inflammation of the scrotal wall or contents, trauma (see below), neoplasms of the testis or testicular appendages (see Ch. 233 ), or mechanical abnormalities involving the scrotal contents or adjacent structures (see Testicular torsion under Renal and Genitourinary Defects in Ch. 261). Scrotal abscesses may complicate epididymo-orchitis (see under Epididymitis, below), especially when treatment is delayed. Some abscesses drain spontaneously, but most require surgery, usually orchiectomy with drainage. Urethral stricture and diverticulum may be accompanied by abscess formation with swelling of the scrotum, pain, and erythema and extravasation of urine into the scrotum and perineum. Incision and drainage as well as antibiotics are often indicated, but urinary diversion by suprapubic cystostomy is needed only in severe cases with abscess. Persistent strictures can usually be treated successfully by dilation or endoscopy (internal urethrotomy). In difficult or recurrent cases, a permanent stent may be placed endoscopically. Open surgery is occasionally indicated. Hydrocele

Epididymitis caused by sexually transmitted enteric organisms (e.g., Escherichia coli Although most patients can be treated on an outpatient basis, hospitalization should be considered when severe pain suggests other diagnoses (e.g., torsion, testicular infarction, or abscess) or when patients are febrile or might be noncompliant with an antimicrobial regimen. Men who have epididymitis typically have unilateral testicular pain and tenderness; hydrocele and palpable swelling of the epididymis usually are present. Testicular torsion, a surgical emergency, should be considered in all cases, but it occurs more frequently among adolescents and in men without evidence of inflammation or infection. Emergency testing for torsion may be indicated when the onset of pain is sudden, pain is severe, or the test results available during the initial examination do not support a diagnosis of urethritis or urinary-tract infection. If the diagnosis is questionable, a specialist should be consulted immediately, because testicular viability may be compromised. The evaluation of men for epididymitis should include the following procedures.

Tried antibiotics, no success. Have now had epididymitis for 15 months. MD says can do nothing when epididymitis is viral based... just have to wait. Have looked at all possibilities... zero chance of STD related and urologist said not bladder or urethral caused. There has to be something to clear this up! Based on scale of 1 to 10, pain level has dropped from 8 to constant 3 or 4. Tired of hurting. Over last year have also developed major difficulty getting erections... can this somehow be connected to epididymitis? What can be done to get rid of epididymitis... permanently! Please advise. Dear Reader, It sounds as if you have been through quite an ordeal. Usually, epididymitis is an acute bacterial infection of the epididymis (the tube that carries the sperm in the testicles). Along with antibiotics, comfort measures, such as warm compresses and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications (e.g., ibuprofen, acetaminophen, naproxen sodium, aspirin), usually clear up the infection and resolve the accompanying pain or discomfort within about 2 - 4 weeks. Chronic epididymitis (lasting longer than 6 weeks) can occur without any bacterial infection present. It sometimes develops after a severe case of epididymitis or after multiple attacks of acute epididymitis. A chronic urinary tract infection sometimes also has been the source of chronic epididymitis.

Pain is the sensation that warns us that damage to our bodies is occurring. It functions as a quick-acting system that tells the motor systems of the brain that they must act to minimize or eliminate this damage. This assumes that there is a cause recognizable in biology for every pain - which is an effect.
