Can Constipation Cause Testicular Pain?

Yesterday, our clinic has received a patient who suffers from occasional testicle pain for one month. “I have constant constipation because I like eating spicy food and diary product but have a bad digestion, I wonder if my testicle pain may be caused by constipation.” Said the men. After several questions, Dr.lee told him that he was most likely to suffer from acute epididymitis because testicle is one of the acute epididymitis symptoms and suggested him making an accurate examination.



Can constipation cause testicular pain?

The answer is no. Because the two diseases or symptoms belong to different systems. What’s more, the two lesion organs are too far away to be affected by the radiant pain from each other. Therefore, it is impossible for constipation to bring testicular pain to men. The man I mentioned in the first paragraph must have some other conditions. 

 
What causes epididymits?

1.Sexually transmitted infections. Gonorrhea and chlamydia are the most common causes of epididymitis in young and sexually active men.

2.Other infections. Bacteria from a urinary tract or prostate infection might spread from the infected site to the epididymis. Also, viral infections, such as the mumps virus, can result in epididymitis.

3.Urine in the epididymis (chemical epididymitis). This condition occurs when urine flows backward into the epididymis, possibly because of heavy lifting or straining.

4.Trauma. A groin injury can cause epididymitis.

5.Tuberculosis. Epididymitis can be rarely caused by tuberculosis infection.



What’s the epididymitis treatment?

Typically, the suffers will take antibiotics which have the functions of anti-inflammation and antisepsis. But since the U.S. Food and Drug Administration warned about the potential side effects of antibiotics which outweigh benefits for some infections in May 13,2016 , among which the well-known brand drug Cipro is included , antibiotics has been saturated with controversy in treating infectious diseases.

Plus it is constantly reported that many patients taking antibiotics have produced drug resistance and tolerance in their body with disease relapsing fitfully and abruptly.
 
Fortunately, herbal medicine like Diuretic and Anti-inflammatory Pill has managed to go through the examination both clinically and externally. Diuretic and Anti-inflammatory Pill can kill the pathogenic bacteria and eliminate the inflammation so that inflammatory substances can be prevented from producing. Moreover, the herbs in the pill like safflower, angelica and red peony root boast the properties of inhibiting the hyperplasia of inflammatory nodules and eliminating the small inflammatory nodules by promoting the blood circulation and of epididymis. 

Besides, the pill is a formula made of natural herbs free from chemical substances, so it has no side effect in comparison with antibiotics which will cause drug resistance and tolerance and damage the live rand kidney.



Suggestions for men

ust like the patient mentioned above, he suffer from constipation because of spicy food and diary product, which indicates the two food are not suitable for his digestion system. In fact, everyone has his unique ability for digestion. You’d better choose the food that are suitable for you especially when you have a disease. For men with epididymitis, some food are avoided like diary product, pickled vegetables, sea food, chicken, beef.
