Patient's question:
I am 28 years old, 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 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 are the causes of epididymitis?Doctor's answer:
Orchitis and epididymitis are generally characterized by local swelling and pain. In severe cases, fever may also occur. The testicles may become noticeably smaller. For your current condition, you can first go to the hospital for a check-up, such as a color Doppler ultrasound of the urinary system and a color Doppler ultrasound of the testicles and epididymis. Blood tests should also be conducted. The main treatment after diagnosis is intravenous fluids and anti-inflammatory medication. Recently, you should follow a light diet, avoid drinking beer, and not eat spicy foods. Avoid strenuous exercise and get adequate rest.
