Patient's question:
Recently, I've been feeling constant pain in my testicles, and this week alone I've had a fever 16 times. I usually feel cold. Could you please tell me: What are the typical symptoms of epididymitis?Doctor's answer:
Acute orchitis patients may experience high fever again in their body. If they go to the hospital for a thorough examination at this time, they will find that their white blood cell count decreases. The affected scrotum is swollen and painful, with a heavy and dragging sensation. There is referred pain in the lower abdomen and inguinal region, which intensifies when standing or walking. The affected epididymis is swollen and tender to touch. When the inflammation is extensive, both the epididymis and testis are swollen, and their boundaries become indistinct, which is called epididymitis orchitis. The spermatic cord on the affected side is thickened and also tender to touch. Generally, acute symptoms can gradually subside after one week.
