No matter which part of the reproductive organ has symptoms, it can affect sexual life and even cause infertility, so it is necessary to actively carry out prevention and treatment. In order to maintain a normal sexual life, maintain a harmonious marital relationship, and prevent sexual dysfunction and infertility among young men after marriage, it is very important to attach importance to and prevent genital infection.
Common male genital infection diseases include orchitis, urethritis, prostatitis, epididymitis, and so on.
Orchitis
It is caused by various pathogenic bacteria and viruses that infect the blood, lymphatic vessels, vas deferens, or epididymis, with mumps causing orchitis being the most common. Mumps is an acute infectious disease caused by a virus, and adults who suffer from mumps are prone to develop orchitis. In the acute phase, the patient presents with redness, swelling, and pain of the scrotal skin, with a significant feeling of falling and swelling when walking. If treated improperly in the acute phase, it can turn into chronic orchitis. In the acute phase, it is necessary to rest in bed, elevate the scrotum, apply hot compress, use antibiotics for treatment, and refrain from sexual activity, otherwise the condition will worsen. After treatment, orchitis does not affect the secretion of male hormones and does not affect sexual life.
urethritis
Multiple retrograde infections, which are caused by the direct invasion of the urethra by bacteria. In the acute stage, the patient presents with hyperemia and edema of the urethral mucosa, or the formation of erosive ulcers, redness and swelling of the urethral orifice, mucinous or purulent secretions, and tenderness and stiffness of the urethra; Heavy cases can affect the epididymis and spermatic cord. When ill, take appropriate rest, prohibit alcohol consumption, and avoid sexual activity. It is mainly treated with oral or intramuscular antibiotics.
Prostatitis
"It is often caused by the direct spread of urethritis, or by acute inflammation of other tissues and organs caused by blood and lymphatic infections. It is a common disease among young and middle-aged men.". Acute prostatitis has an acute onset, often manifested as general weakness, waist soreness, discomfort and sagging sensation in the perineum and anus, accompanied by painful urination, frequent urination, urgency of urination, and even hematuria. Some people have decreased libido, premature ejaculation, or impotence. After illness, attention should be paid to rest, drinking more water, controlling sexual activity, and adhering to the use of antibiotics for treatment.
Non bacterial prostatitis has symptoms such as frequent urination, urgency, and sexual dysfunction, but laboratory tests cannot detect bacteria. It is mainly caused by factors such as excessive sexual activity, prolonged sexual excitement, or pelvic congestion caused by riding a bicycle or horse. For this type of patients, traditional Chinese medicine, hot water sitz baths, and local massage therapy are often used.
Epididymitis
It is caused by retrograde spread of urethral stricture, prostatic hyperplasia, urethritis, and infections such as tuberculosis and gonorrhea. The epididymis is closely attached to the posterior lateral side of the testis and consists of a curved, coiled epididymal tube. It plays an important role in promoting sperm maturation, storing sperm, and absorbing decaying sperm. Therefore, pathological changes in both epididymis can cause infertility. In the acute phase, the symptoms are scrotal swelling and pain, which can involve the lower abdomen and the root of the thigh, making walking inconvenient. Incomplete treatment in the acute phase can lead to chronic epididymitis, so treatment must be thorough in the acute phase. During treatment, the scrotum can be raised, local cold compress can be used, and effective antibiotics and other symptomatic treatment methods can be selected.
