Guest guest Posted July 17, 2006 Report Share Posted July 17, 2006 Dear Jim, >From Medline: " Epididymitis is an inflammation of the epididymis, the tubular structure that connects the testicle with the vas deferens. " Acute epididymitis causes swelling of the scrotum, pain in the testicles, and sometimes a fever. " Epididymitis is caused by spread of infection from the urethra or the bladder. The most common organisms involved in the condition are gonorrhea, chlamydia and E.coli. " Tuberculosis can also manifest as epididymitis. Other bacteria (such as Ureaplasma) may also cause epididymitis. " A non-infectious cause of epididymitis is the use of anti-arrhythmic medication, amiodarone. " Men who have recently had surgery are at greater risk. " Other risk factors include chronic indwelling urethral catheter use and being uncircumcised. " It is important that this condition be distinguished from testicular torsion (a reduction or stoppage of the blood flow to the testicle) which requires emergency care. Testicular torsion is a surgical emergency and should be treated as soon as possible. " So treatment would depend somewhat on the cause of the problem. Bacterial problems can be addressed with penile insufflation, plus scrotal bagging, and drinking ozonated water. Best of Health!
