Introduction: Epididymo-orchitis is common condition in scrotum found in surgical practice. It is commonly seen in young males. It can occur at any age. The common age is between 2nd to 4th decades of life. Its duration of illness is 6 weeks in acute condition and 12 weeks in in chronic conditions. It mostly occurs associated with sexually transmitted diseases. Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhea are the common causative organisms. After age 40, the common organisms causing this disease are Escherichia Coli and Coliform bacteria found on G.I.T. There are also other causes of this disease. It is mostly managed conservatively but it can be operated it the condition develops complications. Even Orchidectomy is also done in some conditions. Objective: To evaluate the management options in epididymo-orchitis . Material methods: This is a cross sectional study done at surgical Unit 1 of Peoples Medical Hospital (PMCH) Nawabshah. The duration of study was one year from 10th August 2019 to 9th July 2020. All the patients were admitted through Surgical out Patient Department (SOPD) and emergency department of Peoples Medical College Hospital (PMCH) Nawabshah. Approval of study was taken from Ethical committee. Detailed history and thorough clinical examination was done. Routine investigations were done apart from viral markers including HIV. Urine DR and Culture ,Ultrasound of Scrotum and CT Scan were done. Management was planned accordingly. Results: Total 65 patients were included in this study. Of them, 20 (31%) had left sided pathology, 40 (61%) had right sided and 5(8%) had bilateral. Testicular abscess formation was seen in 8 (12.3%) patients. In 2 (3.07%) patients, testicular infarction was noted. 1 (1.5%) patient became infertile due to bilateral involvement. 3 (4.6%) patients had developed psychosis. Conclusion: It is concluded that most of the patients were treated conservatively and in a few patients, incision drainage and orchidectomy was performed. Keywords: Epididymo-orchitis. Neiserria Gononrhea, E.Coli, Incision Drainage, Orchidectomy.

Ageing and inflammation in the male reproductive tract

et al. 2018

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Ageing is usually characterised by a mild chronic proinflammatory state. Despite the tight association between both processes, the phenomenon has recently been termed inflammageing. Inflammation in the male reproductive tract is frequently linked with bacterial or virus infections but also with a broad range of noninfectious processes. Prostatitis, epididymitis and orchitis, among others, can lead to infertility. However, in spite of the inflammation theory of disease, chronic inflammation in male urogenital system does not always cause symptoms. With advancing age, inflammatory processes are commonly observed in the male reproductive tract. Nevertheless, the incidence of inflammation in reproductive organs and ducts varies greatly among elderly men. Inflammageing is considered a predictor of pathogenesis and the development of age-related diseases. This article briefly summarises the current state of knowledge on inflammageing in the male reproductive tract. Yet, the precise aetiology of inflammageing in the male urogenital system, and its potential contribution not only to infertility but most importantly to adverse health outcomes remains almost unknown. Thus, further investigations are required to elucidate the precise cross-links between inflammation and male reproductive senescence, and to establish the impact of anti-inflammatory drug treatments on elder men's general health status.
