In pathogenesis of acute epididymitis (AE) an important role belongs to retrograde infection of the epididymis. The infection with urethral or urinary flora occurs via reflux and adhesive mechanisms. Staging of the disease and differentiation of acute epididymitis with epididymo-orchitis are the essential aims in the diagnosis. For elderly patients with AE who comprise the majority of AE patients urgent epididymectomy is thought the best therapeutic approach.
在急性附睾炎（AE）的发病机制中，附睾逆行感染起着重要作用。尿道或尿路菌群的感染通过反流和黏附机制发生。疾病分期以及急性附睾炎与附睾睾丸炎的鉴别是诊断的基本目标。对于占AE患者大多数的老年AE患者，急诊附睾切除术被认为是最佳治疗方法。
