1. Causes of seminal vesicle inflammation

The seminal vesicles play an important role in the male reproductive system, with the task of producing semen, helping sperm move easily inside the female uterus.
Inflammation of the seminal vesicles or testicular inflammation affects the quality of sperm and the ability of sperm to move into the uterus, making it more difficult to conceive.
There are many causes of testicular inflammation, but men need to know the basic causes of the disease as follows:
Urinary tract infections, urethritis, prostatitis, long-term cystitis If left untreated, complications can lead to testicular inflammation. Unsafe sex, too much sex, too strong, causing the capillaries of the seminal vesicles to burst, the muscle fibers are pulled, leading to the phenomenon of tuberculosis of the testicle. Men were born with inflammation of the testicle, the disease is common in cases where the ureter is lost, in the wrong place, usually where the hole empties the ureter into the bladder but empties into the seminal vesicles, causing the testicular sac to become inflamed. The resistance of the male body is weak, due to untreated otitis media, pharyngitis, and bronchitis, also causes testicular inflammation. Men have had a history of surgery such as urinary catheterization, prostatoscopy, leaving a fistula in the seminal vesicles.

2. Symptoms of seminal vesicles


Men with seminal vesicles will have specific symptoms such as:
Pain in the perineum every time you urinate, pain spreading to the anus and scrotum. Pain during sex, pain when ejaculating, spreading along the vas deferens, spreading to the pelvis. When ejaculation does not form a stream, but slowly leaks, the pleasure of sex is fleeting and passes quickly. There are signs of erectile dysfunction. Ejaculation with blood or pus. Pain in the epididymis even without epididymitis. Perineal pain even without prostatitis. Acute inflammation of the testicles, increased semen volume; In contrast, chronic pancreatitis, semen volume is significantly reduced. In addition, when men go to the doctor, they will be transrectal ultrasound, or combined with abdominal ultrasound when the bladder is full. Manifestations will see dilated seminal vesicles, thick wall. When semen analysis shows the presence of many white blood cells in the semen, inflammatory bacteria are detected in semen culture.

3. Does inflammation of the testicle cause infertility?


Men's testicles are sperm factories, responsible for reproduction and maintenance of the breed. When sperm are produced, a small amount is stored in the epididymis, while the rest is stored in the vas deferens. Thus, when a man has testicular inflammation, it will inevitably lead to a decline in sexual and reproductive function, the most severe is the loss of the ability to have sex, and male infertility.
If not treated promptly in the right direction, men will not be able to produce sperm, because the high white blood cell count causes the sperm count to decrease, the testicles therefore gradually atrophy, losing the ability to reproduce. At this time, infertility is inevitable for men with seminal vesicles.

For patients with orchitis caused by TB bacteria, they need specific treatment with anti-TB drugs under the guidance of the treating doctor.
Orchitis can also be treated surgically when the seminal vesicles are complicated by an abscess in the seminal vesicles, or antibiotic treatment has not yielded positive results despite having an antibiogram, with the method of placing Drain the seminal vesicles when there is an abscess, remove the seminal vesicles.
