Orchoepididimitis is an association of two different diseases: the inflammatory process of eggs (orchitis) and the appendage (epidididimitis) - under the common name they were reduced due to the fact that due to the characteristics of the anatomical structure, the circulatory system, both diseases are most often found together and require comprehensive treatment.
The main reason for the disease is considered to be various infections, especially transmitted by sex, which can be causative agents, for example, chlamydia, trichomonas, gonococci, etc. In the testicle or his appendages, they penetrate the prostate gland, urethra, through the seeding paths or through blood vessels.
At the initial stage, the disease is characterized by an acute form of flow with such typical symptoms as:
- sharp increase in body temperature, and, in particular, scrotum
- Strong pain in the scrotum
- Redness scrotum
- Increase Egg and / or His appendage
- Egg seal and / or its appendage
Such signs are preserved during the week, after which the orcheepidimitis goes into chronic stage, the pain syndrome decreases, becomes periodic or passes at all, the body temperature is normalized, but the testicle and its appendages remain enlarged and dense. It should be noted that it is necessary to consult a doctor as soon as possible, since there is a danger of another path of development of the disease: after a sharp period, the inflammatory process threatens to go to the afflammory process (abscess).
Complications of orchoepididimitis
The second reason for the need for a speedy consultation with a specialist is the risk of developing serious complications. The diseases of the testicles are fraught with a violation of their functions, while failures arise not only in the formation of spermatozoa, but also in their transition to the rear region of the urethra, responsible for the formation of sperm. This leads to male infertility, and among other consequences of orchoepididimitis it is customary to allocate an egg infarction, which is irreversible and requiring its removal, as well as a tumor of eggs. The latter creates a high probability of developing malignant formations, and that is why even the very first signs of the disease are considered a reason for a compulsory visit to a professional urologist. Do not force yourself the dangers of an uncontrolled flow of inflammation of the egg and his appendage, which is currently curable.
Actions of a doctor with orchoepididit
Treatment of orchoepididimitis due to the high risk of the development of complications, should begin as soon as possible, trusting exclusively a professional. A qualified urologist acts primarily on the principle of accounting for the individual characteristics of the body, therefore, it first conducts the necessary inspection of the patient, and then a thorough analysis of its complaints.
Before appointment of treatment, a thorough diagnosis of illness is carried out. As a rule, due to quite bright features, the disease does not cause difficulties in diagnosis and is already determined in the doctor's office, however, nevertheless, a number of laboratory research may be needed. These include:
- general blood analysis
- general urine analysis
- Ultrasound
- Analyzes for infections
After the procedures, which made it possible to put an accurate diagnosis, based on their results, the course of treatment is selected. In the early stages, they bypass drugs, however, chronic and complicated forms, such as egg infarction, may require surgical intervention. It is important to note that timely appeal to the doctor - in the interests of the patient himself, because, the earlier it will pass the necessary diagnostic and therapeutic measures, the more efficient they will.
Consultations carried out by a professional already at first symptoms contribute to the successful treatment of orchoepidimitis and related diseases in the event of their presence, which avoids the transition of the inflammatory process in an abscess or chronic form with constant relapses, and also reduces the risk of complications. Considering the high risk of serious consequences, including infertility and egg infarction, you should not ignore the symptoms that appeared, and turn to the urologist in a timely manologist.
