EPIDIDYMITIS The epididymis is a structure which lies on and around each testicle. It functions in the transport, storage and maturation of sperm cells originating from the testicle. When a man complains of scrotal pain, acute or chronic epididymitis is far and away that most common diagnosis. Acute epididymitis is usually more severe involving more significant swelling and pain than chronic epididymitis. Epididymitis which lasts more than six weeks is considered chronic epididymtitis. Symptoms and Causes The symptoms of epididymitis include scrotal pain and swelling. The pain or swelling may be mild or severe. At times the epididymus may become so inflamed that a patient is unable to walk (due to pain). Infection may also become so severe that it spreads to the adjacent testicle. Such cases may cause fever and, rarely, abscess formation. Most cases of epididymitis are not severely disabling; usually the pain and swelling is not severe. It is common for pain to increase as the day progresses. It has long been thought that straining or strainful work was a contributory factor in epididymitis. Recently, however, this has been considered to be less of a factor and infection is now considered the most common cause of epididymitis. The infective agents most likely to cause epididymitis are the bacteria which commonly cause other urinary infections. A much less common cause of epididymitis is the gonorrhea bacteria. Treatment The treatment for acute epididymitis is well accepted and effective. It includes antibiotics therapy, bed rest, scrotal support ("supporter"), and oral anti-inflammatory drugs (such as Ibuprofen). Each of these modes of treatment is important. Chronic epididymitis is more of a problem (though less severe) because it's symptoms seem to persist even after the initial treatment. In these cases a second round of therapy may be helpful. Beyond this, longer term anti-inflammatory medication is recommended. Surgical treatment for chronic epididymitis is an uncommon last resort.

Causes, incidence, and risk factors Return to top Acute epididymitis causes swelling of the scrotum, pain in the testicles, and sometimes a fever of up to 6 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). Epididymitis is caused by spread of infection from the urethra or the bladder. The most common organisms involved in the condition in young heterosexual men are gonorrhoea and chlamydia. In children and older men, typical uropathogens, such as coliform oraganisms (

The sperm is stored and allowed to mature in the epididymis (a convoluted glandular tube the top and side of each testicle) before it is conveyed to the spermatic ducts. Although they are positioned close to each other anatomically and share a few common membranes, inflammation in the testicles and in the epididymis can have quite different symptoms.

Answer Non-gonococcal epididymitis is an ascending infection that may or may not be associated with an inflammation of the urethra. It may be caused by Corynebacterium or genital mycoplasma. In patients over 35 years it can be caused by E. coli, Pseudomonas, or Proteus bacteria. In these cases there is often no urethritis, although pus may be found in the urine. The Trichomonas microorganism may also be responsible. Treatment is using an appropriate antibiotic therapy, although identifying the causative organism can be difficult.
