Patient's question:
Recently, I've been feeling a sharp pain in my testicles, and it feels swollen as well. I also suspect I have a low-grade fever, have lost my appetite, and often feel nauseous. Can a person with only one testicle still be fertile?Doctor's answer:
In this case, if the orchitis and epididymitis have lasted more than three months, it should be considered chronic inflammation. Taking medication again may not lead to complete recovery. It is recommended to seek medical attention at a local reputable and authoritative urological hospital for a thorough examination and treatment. An MRI should be conducted to determine the specific extent. If there is swelling and reduction in the testicles and epididymis, local physical therapy should be considered to promote the subsidence of inflammation and edema. A needle biopsy may be necessary if needed to confirm the specific nature.
