Does orchitis cause infertility?

Patient's question:

My testicles have been different since I was 19—one larger than the other. I didn't pay much attention to it at first. Last year, they swelled and hurt a lot... A check-up revealed it was testitis. Will this affect my fertility in the future?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, it definitely has an impact, because it blocks the path of sperm, and severe cases can also affect the relationship between couples. Orchitis can cause pain and swelling in the scrotum, which severely affects the mood and health of male patients. Physical pain can lead to irritability and even a loss of interest in sexual activity. Wishing you good health!
