Patient's question:
For a while now, my testicles have been slightly swollen and aching. Recently, they've started to hurt, especially when touched, and it's very painful. It seems there's also some swelling on the other side. I'm very worried. Could you please tell me: What causes orchitis?Doctor's answer:
Orchitis involves testicular swelling and tenderness. If the inflamed membrane is present, there may be a sensation of pus accumulation. Patients often experience redness and swelling of the scrotal skin and hydrocele in the scrotum. If orchitis is not treated for a long time, it can lead to male infertility. It is recommended that you go to the hospital for examination and treatment. Symptomatic treatment should be carried out based on the confirmation of its cause. Wishing you good health! The condition of orchitis is prone to recurrence, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is important to seek treatment from professional and regular hospitals promptly. Treatment should be considered based on detailed examination results. Additionally, pay attention to a proper diet, avoid sexual activity, and finally, wish all patients a speedy recovery.
