Patient's question:
I have had a high fever for 2 days, and I am particularly afraid of cold. At first, I thought it was just a cold, but then I noticed that my testicles were getting more and more painful, and when I touched them, it felt like there was water inside. I went to the hospital for a check-up and was diagnosed with orchitis.Please ask: What is epididymitis?
Doctor's answer:
When suffering from acute orchitis, do not have sexual activity. Because the epididymis is in a state of congestion and edema due to inflammation, sexual intercourse during this time will cause widespread congestion in the penis, which will worsen the swelling of the epididymis and hinder the resolution of inflammation. It is essential to gradually resume sexual activity only after the treatment of orchitis is completed. Orchitis is a relatively common disease in men, generally divided into acute and chronic orchitis. It can significantly interfere with men's physical and mental health. It can increase sperm vitality, and in severe cases, it can lead to male infertility. Therefore, timely treatment is crucial. In addition to receiving timely treatment for orchitis, patients also need to pay attention to care aspects, such as proper diet and maintaining a positive mood. At the same time, patients should also pay attention to choosing a professional hospital for diagnosis to obtain good treatment results.
