Patient's question:
Recently, I've been feeling constant pain in my testicles, and this week alone, I've had a fever six times. I usually feel cold. Could you please tell me: What treatment methods are effective for orchitis?Doctor's answer:
Epididymitis is often caused by the spread of prostatitis and seminal vesiculitis from the urinary system along the vas deferens to the epididymis. Hematogenous transmission is less common. Frequent urethral instrumentation, catheterization, prostatectomy, and indwelling catheters are all predisposing factors for epididymitis. If acute epididymitis is not treated promptly, it can become chronic. The main external cause of transmission is the unreasonable design of traditional men's underwear on the market. Most men's underwear is double-layered, tightly wrapping the penis and scrotum together, creating a long-term hot and humid environment that provides a breeding ground for bacteria and other microorganisms. This increases the risk of prostatitis, which in turn can lead to epididymitis, a condition that is often overlooked.
