Patient's question:
Last night while taking a shower, I touched my testicles and felt some pain. I woke up earlier and seemed to have a fever, which got worse in the afternoon. I went to the hospital for a check-up and was told I have orchitis. I am really worried. Can orchitis be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
Orchitis is a common cause of testicular pain. There are many causes of orchitis, such as patients with mumps. Secondary orchitis can occur, leading to testicular pain and swelling. Gonorrhea is currently the most prevalent sexually transmitted disease, and in severe cases, it can cause orchitis, resulting in testicular pain and swelling. Chronic prostatitis can also cause testicular pain,，，，，，．Orchitis has two types: viral orchitis and bacterial orchitis. Generally, hospitalization is appropriate for treatment, and combined antibacterial and antiviral therapy is effective for stable orchitis.
