Resume
Avant l’ère des antibiotiques les cliniciens ont démontré la relation entre épididymite et infertilité.
Actuellement les M. S. T. représentent la principale cause d’épididymite de l’homme jeune.
Le diagnostic précoce de l’atteinte urétrale, aiguë ou non, associée à une antiothérapie adaptée doit permettre de préserver la fertilité.
