If you are a male it is important to learn how to treat swollen vas deferens because this condition is common among males that are 19 to 35 years of age. Swollen vas deferens, commonly called Epididymitis, typically results when bacteria is spread from the bladder or urethra, which causes pain and numerous other symptoms. While swollen vas deferens can occur in all males, certain males have an increased risk for developing the condition, such as those who are not circumcised, have urinary tract complications, and frequent unprotected intercourse.
To treat swollen vas deferens, you will need:
- Symptom evaluation
- Proper diagnoses
- You can begin treating swollen vas deferens if you have symptoms of the condition. Common symptoms of this condition include blood in the semen, penile discharge, pain or discomfort in the groin or lower abdomen. Other common symptoms include fever, testicle lumps and swelling, and pain during ejaculation or urination.
- To treat swollen vas deferens, a physical examination will need to be conducted to properly diagnose the condition. A physical examination will look for obvious signs of the condition, such as swelling and scrotal masses. Laboratory testing can be used as well. This can include complete blood counts, scrotal ultrasound, testicular scan, and urinalysis. Sexually transmitted disease tests are often conducted because STD's are known to causes the condition.
- To treat swollen vas deferens, the underlying cause of the condition must be treated. To treat swollen vas deferens caused by an STD, antibiotics will be needed. Pain medications and anti-inflammatories may be prescribed. If the condition is caused by medication use, a lower dose of the medication may be recommended. Bed rest is needed to treat swollen vas deferens despite the cause.
No matter what the underlying cause is for the vas deferens to become swollen, follow up visits with a physician are essential. During follow up visits, a health care provider can monitor the condition and ensure the infection has been properly treated.
