Patient's question:
Because of testicular pain, I went to the hospital for a thorough examination and found that I had orchitis. Hello, what are the symptoms of orchitis?Doctor's answer:
Orchitis is a common disease in men. Due to the variety of conditions, patients may experience different pain symptoms. The nature of the pain can vary, including aching pain, heavy pain, and sharp pain, among others. The intensity of the pain can also differ, ranging from mild to severe pain. In addition to the pain caused by inflammation of the testicles themselves, inflammation of the epididymis and spermatic cord within the scrotum can also lead to testicular pain. As mentioned earlier, if a football hits a man's sensitive area—the testicles—the intense and heavy impact can cause severe testicular pain, which may even lead to shock. For patients with orchitis, timely treatment can reduce the risk of complications. If left untreated, it can affect fertility.
