Overview
Cases of epididymoorchitis were described in literature as early as 1841.[1]It was believed that epididymitis was caused by chemical irritation caused by urine reflux. However, by 1979, a study showed that bacteria were responsible for more cases. [2]
Historical Perspective
- Cases of epididymoorchitis were described in literature as early as 1841.[1]
- In 1841, A. J. Taylor described the effects of compression (i.e., applying pressure on the testicles) in the treatment of epididymitis.[1] In 1847, Wills GF suggests the same modality of treatment for orchitis.[3]
- In 1906, Francis R. Hagner describes operative treatment of acute epididymitis caused by N. gonorrhea.[4]
- It was believed that epididymitis was caused by chemical irritation caused by urine reflux. However, by 1979, a study showed that bacteria were responsible for more cases. [2]
