Patient's question:
I am 28 years old this year, and I have had a high fever for 2 days. I am also very afraid of cold. At first, I thought it was just a cold, but then I found 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: How to treat prostatitis, epididymitis, and varicocele?Doctor's answer:
Based on your descriptions, it is still possible that these symptoms are caused by varicocele. Severe varicocele can lead to abnormal semen quality. Since you are trying to conceive, it is recommended that you have a routine semen analysis done at the hospital. If the semen quality is normal, you can focus on conception. If there are issues with semen quality, you should consider undergoing varicocele surgery as soon as possible to restore semen quality before conception.Facing the harm of epididymitis, patients should actively undergo testing and treatment without avoiding medical visits. If the epididymitis does not improve with treatment, it is important to change the treatment plan promptly.
