Patient's question:
Recently, I've been feeling constant pain in my testicles, and this week alone, I've had a fever 61 times. Usually, I feel cold, and when I take a bath, I notice that my testicles seem to contain a lot of liquid. Please ask: How can orchitis be treated?Doctor's answer:
It is best not to have sex when you have orchitis. Orchitis is an inflammatory condition of the testicles caused by various blood-borne pathogens. It is divided into two types: acute purulent orchitis and mumps orchitis. When suffering from orchitis, sexual activity should not be engaged in. Because the testicles are in a state of congestion and edema due to inflammation, sexual intercourse can lead to widespread congestion of the penis, which may exacerbate the swelling of the epididymis and hinder the resolution of inflammation. It is essential to gradually resume sexual activity only after the orchitis has subsided. During the initial phase of recovery, the frequency of sexual intercourse should not be too high. The condition of orchitis tends to recur, requiring long-term medication. Additionally, male patients should immediately seek treatment at a professional and reputable hospital. Treatment should be considered based on the results of thorough examinations.
