Turmeric
Turmeric’s primary polyphenol, curcumin, is useful for treating various inflammatory disorders. Cellular levels of inflammatory cytokines induced by infections are what this substance is after. It might ease discomfort and decrease swelling if used as directed.
In addition to reducing inflammation in the epididymis there is evidence that regular consumption of turmeric can improve the health of a man’s epididymis and prostate in several other ways. Other turmeric benefits for the male reproductive organs include protection against the development of prostate cancer. Turmeric’s anti-inflammatory properties have also been shown to benefit the epididymis. The term “epididymis” is used to describe the tube located behind the testicles that contain the sperm. If the testicles become inflamed or irritated, they may swell and hurt, and possibly hematospermia may occur.
When taken orally by men, turmeric has the potential to reduce testosterone levels and slow the mobility of sperm. Potentially, this might lower fertility. Therefore, it should be moderated and only taken as needed. When blood in the sperm is healed, taking turmeric tonics should be minimized. It is important to incorporate a good deal of turmeric into one’s daily diet. 500 to 1,000 milligrams of turmeric per day is recommended for the anti-inflammatory effects of curcumin.
