    Inflammation of the spermatic cord is a common infection in the male reproductive system. It usually has an acute onset and can cause local pain and obvious symptoms. The pain can radiate along the spermatic cord to the patient's groin, and sometimes the pain can even reach the upper or lower abdomen of the phalanx. So when inflammation of the spermatic cord occurs, can it be cured? Let’s find out together.

    Can spermatic corditis be cured?

    It is generally not easy to cure. It is necessary to treat it in time and remove the infectious factors to prevent the inflammation from getting worse. Therefore, when a man finds that the spermatic cord is inflamed, he must seek medical examination immediately and treat the cause of the disease to better eliminate the inflammation and prevent the spermatic cord inflammation from causing greater pain to him.

    Symptoms of spermatic corditis

    Typical symptoms

    The onset is more acute, the local pain is more obvious, and can radiate along the spermatic flexure to the groin, and even to the upper phalanges or lower abdomen.

    Key clinical symptoms

    The superficial skin is red and itchy, the spermatozoa is enlarged and thickened in a spindle-shaped or cord-like shape, there is significant dull pain, and the ejaculatory ducts are unclear. If a cyst occurs, there may be fluctuations.

    The spermatic flexure starts from the groin, runs diagonally inward and downward, spreads across the vagina, and ends at the edge of the male testicles. It is a soft round cord that suspends the male testicles and epididymal cysts. After suffering from spermatic corditis, the inflammation can cause the spermatic cord to become enlarged, thickened, and swollen. When it adheres to surrounding tissues, vaginal swelling and pain, lower abdominal pain, and vulva traction pain may occur. If the infection is severe, systemic reactions such as fever and headache may occur.

    There are also some symptoms that are similar to spermatic corditis, such as vaginal pain, perineum and lower abdominal pain, etc., which should be differentiated in many aspects. Such symptoms include spermatic varicose veins, spermatic hydrocele, spermatic or epididymal tuberculosis, testicular torsion and traumatic abscess, vaginal haemofilariasis, spermatic flexor tumors, etc. After the diagnosis is confirmed, treatment can be carried out.

    Causes of spermatic corditis

    1. The stump of the spermatic flexure is left too long, and there is a lot of necrotic tissue left, which makes it pre-soaked in the blood and leakage from the wound edge of the vagina, increasing the chance of infection.

    2. Rough and excessive traction of the spermatheca and total sheath during castration, and the use of equipment with a large cross-section to leave too much necrotic tissue are all conducive to the occurrence of infection.

    3. Foreign body contamination, such as hair, dust, straw fragments, plant thorns and poorly sterilized thick ligation surgical threads on the spermatic flexure stump during castration, are all factors that cause infection of the spermatic flexure stump after castration.

    4. The castration wound is too small, the wound between the vaginal membrane and the vagina is inconsistent, the wound is deviated to the back or side, and the wound edge is adhered, resulting in the accumulation of blood and leakage in the membrane cavity, which creates a good condition for the growth and reproduction of microorganisms.
