What are the symptoms of acute epididymitis?

Acute epididymitis is a common inflammatory condition of the male reproductive system. The main symptoms include: 1. Pain: Significant local pain, which typically begins in part of the scrotum and gradually spreads to the entire scrotum or epididymis. The pain can be severe enough to affect walking. 2. Swelling: Noticeable enlargement and tenderness in the epididymal area; sometimes the entire scrotum may also swell. 3. Fever: Accompanied by general malaise, systemic infection symptoms such as fever and chills may occur. Early diagnosis and appropriate antibiotic treatment are key to preventing disease progression and reducing complications.
