Can a history of orchitis lead to infertility?

Patient's question:

At the age of fifteen or sixteen, I had orchitis. Now one testicle is the size of the other. Can I still have children?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, based on your description, penicillin and metronidazole can be used for symptomatic treatment. Changing underwear frequently and drinking more water should suffice.
Suggestions: Drink more water, urinate more frequently, avoid spicy and irritating foods like chili peppers, and maintain cleanliness and dryness in the affected area. Active anti-inflammatory treatment should resolve the issue.
Hello, it is common for adult males to have asymmetrical testes, which is a normal physiological response and does not require treatment. Simply monitor the situation.
