Patient's question:
I have been sick for a long time, but it wasn't until I got checked that I found out it was this disease. May I ask: How can orchitis be treated more effectively?Doctor's answer:
Orchitis is an inflammatory condition of the testicles caused by various septic factors. It is divided into two types: acute suppurative orchitis and mumps orchitis. The general prognosis is favorable, though in rare cases it may lead to testicular atrophy and male infertility. The affected testicle shows diffuse reduction in size but still maintains an oblong shape. During the acute phase, the main symptoms include testicular swelling and tenderness, which may radiate to the groin; if bacterial infection occurs, it can form an abscess with a sense of vibration. Orchitis patients often experience redness and swelling of the scrotal skin. It is recommended that you visit the reproductive infectious diseases department for follow-up, use the gene chip testing system to accurately identify the pathogen causing the infection, and receive targeted treatment. For patients, if the orchitis condition is severe, symptomatic treatment should be initiated immediately.
