Patient's question:
Last week, I noticed that my testicles were a bit red, but since there were no symptoms, I didn't take it seriously. Last night while taking a shower, I accidentally touched my testicles and felt a bit of pain. I touched it myself and thought there seemed to be a lot of liquid inside. I was very scared. Please ask: Can orchitis be treated and improved?Doctor's answer:
Hello, there are two common types of orchitis: non-specific and mumps-related. Any purulent sepsis can lead to acute purulent orchitis of the second-order neurons, even resulting in testicular abscess. The causative pathogens are mostly Escherichia coli, Streptococcus, Staphylococcus, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. In fact, the most common cause of purulent orchitis is actually the spread of epididymitis, hence it should be referred to as epididymo-orchitis. Patients often experience testicular pain that radiates to the groin, a noticeable sensation of heaviness, accompanied by high fever, nausea, vomiting, leukopenia, and other symptoms. The testicles are significantly swollen and tender, with marked redness and swelling of the scrotal skin.
