Male Organ Pain and Swelling: Could it be Epididymitis?
by John Dugan OwnerAlthough
men are understandably proud of their male organs, many men are not familiar
with the inner workings of these body parts, despite the impact that such inner
workings can have on their health. For example, even men who have heard of
epididymitis may not be sure of exactly what it is or how it might affect their
private parts, causing male organ pain and other unpleasant symptoms.
What
it is
The
Mayo Clinic states that epididymitis “is an inflammation of the coiled tube (epididymis) at the
back of the [male organ] that stores and carries [reproductive fluid].” That
tube is coiled very tightly indeed; if it were to be straightened out, it would
measure between 6 and 7 meters. The epididymis does more than just store and
carry reproductive fluid; it also helps them grown. When the seed first enters
the epididymis, it is unable to swim forward and induce fertilization in an
egg. During the 2 or 3 months that it stays in the epididymis, it acquires
these abilities so that when it is released, it is capable of fulfilling its
fertilization mission.
Symptoms
When
the epididymis becomes inflamed, a man may experience one or more of these
common symptoms.
- Swelling. This is the most common
symptom. The inflammation causes the epididymis to swell, creating a “lump” in
the back of the male organ. The swelling is usually accompanied by a feeling of
warmth in the area and a reddening of the skin, especially in men of lighter
skin tones.
- Discomfort. The swelling causes the
balls to be sensitive to touch; most often this tenderness is on one side of
the male organ. There may also be pain in the manhood, especially when the man
is urinating. In some cases, this pain may also be felt elsewhere in the pelvic
area. Reproductive activity is also often affected, with intimacy producing
feelings of pain.
- Discharge or bleeding. There may be a discharge
from the manhood apart from urination, and sometimes, blood may appear in the
semen.
- Fever. sometimes also
accompanies the inflammation.
Causes
Epididymitis
is generally classified as “acute” (temporary) or “chronic” (longer-lasting,
usually staying around for six or more weeks or recurring after it seems to
have been banished).
There
can be numerous causes of epididymitis. Social diseases are the biggest
culprits among men who are active with a partner. (Another reason why
unprotected contact can be very risky!) But the bacterial infection can come
from non-intimate causes as well.
For
example, sometimes a urinary tract infection might infect the epididymis, as
can blockage of the bladder or urethra, which forces urine into the epididymis.
In some cases, an infection in the bloodstream, such as that associated with tuberculosis,
could make its way to the epididymis. And on rare occasions, some heart
medications have created this inflammation.
Treatment
Men
who notice a swelling in the area should have it checked, especially if it is
accompanied by pain, discharge or any of the other symptoms mentioned above.
Antibiotics are often required to clear epididymitis up, especially among
intimately active men. The doctor may also recommend giving the area a rest for
a while; if pain is persistent, using an athletic strap and taking painkillers
may be beneficial.
Keeping
an eye out for epididymitis is all part of good manhood care. So is regularly
using a top drawer male organ
health creme (health professionals recommend Man1 Man Oil, which
is clinically proven mild and safe for skin). Be sure to find a crème with
vitamin D, the acclaimed “miracle vitamin.” The body often needs help in
getting sufficient vitamin D, and the manhood needs its benefits as much as
other parts of the body. And the best crème will also include vitamin A, which
has anti-bacterial properties that can help reduce unwanted and persistent (and
embarrassing) manhood odors.
