How to Treat Epididymitis Due to Yeast Infection?
Date:2019-11-16 click:0
Fungi are a large group of microorganisms, at least over 100000 species, but only about 300 species can cause human infection. Most of the fungal infections in the male reproductive system are caused by yeast infection. Yeast is a kind of opportunistic pathogen, which is widely distributed in human skin, mouth, gastrointestinal tract, anus, and vulva.
In general, yeast is not pathogenic, but if the immunity drops or the local environment changes, it can multiply in large numbers and develop into mycelium type, which invades the tissue and produces pathological changes.
Fungal infection of the male reproductive system is mainly manifested as fungal epididymitis, which is often caused by sexual contact, but also by contact with contaminated bath towels, bathtubs, clothing, medical equipment, and other infections.
Fungi are not bacteria, so antibiotic treatment is ineffective. The disease is highly prevalent in people who suffer from consumptive diseases and low immunity for a long time, such as patients with malignant tumors, renal failure, diabetes mellitus, hormone, immunosuppressant, or immune deficiency.
Patients with serious infectious diseases, consumptive diseases, vitamin B deficiency, or long-term abuse of broad-spectrum antibiotics, resulting in the imbalance of flora, also have a higher risk of getting a yeast infection. At present, because of widely used wide-spectrum antibiotics and corticosteroids, the incidence is increasing.
It has been reported that the genital infection rate of men who have sexual contact with women with Candida vaginitis is 69.4%; the detection rate of yeast infection on the penis of partners in women with Candida vaginitis is more than four times that of men in the control group.
Whether yeast invades the body or not depends on many factors, not only on the immune function of the body but also on the quantity, virulence, and local environmental changes.
Treatment
All kinds of inducing factors can be removed, and the primary disease can be treated actively. Because antibiotic drugs are ineffective in the treatment of this disease, if the patient is using antibiotic treatment, it should be stopped immediately, so as not to cause the imbalance of bacteria in the body, thus aggravating the disease.
At this time, patients should be treated with antifungal drugs, such as fluconazole, ketoconazole, or miconazole. For the treatment of fungal prostatitis, the treatment concept of traditional Chinese medicine is different from that of modern medicine.
TCM does not focus on pathogenic bacteria, but focuses on the overall pathological changes caused by local lesions, and unifies the local pathological changes with the overall pathological response. TCM doctors generally make a correct diagnosis through dialectical analysis and then give treatment.
Dr. Lee Xiaoping, a TCM doctor, started with the symptoms of epididymitis, such as urination discomfort, pain in the perineum, urethra and lower abdomen, and thought that the principles of diuresis, promoting blood circulation, Qi and pain relief should be followed in the treatment.
In addition, it has been clear that the pathogenic bacteria causing the disease are fungi; the efficacy of sterilization and anti-inflammatory is needed in the treatment. In many years of clinical application, it is found that the Chinese herbal medicine Diuretic and Anti-inflammatory Pill can meet the above requirements.
It contains more than 50 traditional Chinese herbs, such as plantain seed, dianthus superbus, polygonum aviculare, red peony, angelica, safflower, peach kernel, Houttuynia cordata, cowherb seed, etc. these ingredients enable the antidote of pills to kill fungi and eliminate inflammation effectively, but also help patients enhance immunity, so as to prevent recurrence.
During the treatment, the patients should also strengthen nutrition, enhance body immunity, and supplement large doses of B vitamins. At the same time, the sexual partners should be checked and treated in time to avoid secondary infection.
