Steroid Treatment for Recurrent Epididymitis Secondary to Idiopathic Urethritis and Urethrovasal Reflux

چکیده
We describe a case of recurrent left-sided epididymitis secondary to severe idiopathic posterior urethritis extending to left seminal vesicle and vas deference with associated urethrovasal reflux (UVR). Cystourethroscopy and micturating cystourethrogram were essential for the diagnosis. Following cystourethroscopy, intravesical, and urethral instillation of topical steroid triamcinolone, patient had a full recovery. Idiopathic urethritis in association with veru montentitis, utriculitis leading to left-sided UVR, inflammation of the seminal vesicle, and vas deference causing secondary epididymitis is rare. We report the first such rare case presenting as recurrent acute scrotum and response to innovative treatment we used.

متن کاملChlamydia and Male Lower Urinary Tract Diseases
Of the chlamydia species that can cause infections in humans, C. trachomatis is responsible for lower urinary tract diseases in men and women. C. trachomatis infections are prevalent worldwide, but current research is focused on females, with the burden of disease and infertility sequelae considered to be a predominantly female problem. However, a role for this pathogen in the development of ma...
متن کاملMicrobiological survey of acute epididymitis.
In an 18 month period, 198 men presented with a painful, swollen, and tender epididymis or testicular or scrotal pain. Fifty were excluded from analysis because of prior antibiotic treatment or a history of the disease, or both. Of the remaining patients, epididymitis was not diagnosed in 108, though 23 (21%) of them had urethritis. Thus 40 men were seen who had acute unilateral epididymitis. O...
