Patient's question:
The testicles are a little red, but since there were no symptoms, I didn't take it seriously. Last night while taking a shower, I accidentally touched the testicles and felt a bit of pain. It seems like there's a lot of liquid inside, and I'm very scared. Please ask: If it's testitis, how should it be treated better?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, although in very rare cases, it may lead to testicular atrophy and male infertility. The affected testicle becomes diffusely smaller, but its shape remains flattened and elliptical. During the acute phase, the main symptoms include testicular swelling and tenderness, which may radiate to the groin; if bacterial infection occurs, an abscess may form, causing a sense of vibration. Orchitis patients often experience redness and swelling of the scrotal skin. It is recommended that you visit a specialized hospital for follow-up to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment. For orchitis patients, timely treatment can reduce the severity of the condition, while delayed treatment may affect overall health. Therefore, patients should take medication promptly and maintain a regular sex life while avoiding prolonged sitting. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
