Patient's question:
My scrotum has recently become swollen and itchy. I also pay great attention to hygiene. My friend said I might have orchitis. How is orchitis diagnosed?Doctor's answer:
How to diagnose orchitis First, we need to understand the symptoms of orchitis.1) Acute orchitis: More common in middle-aged and young adults and children. Often caused by secondary nerve infections of the urinary system, prostatitis and seminal vesiculitis, or prostatectomy.
2) Chronic orchitis: Often results from acute orchitis or presents as chronic from the beginning. Generally, there are no systemic symptoms, and the testicles gradually swell and form a lump. Orchitis can be cured, but the treatment period is usually long, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, active cooperation with the doctor's treatment is essential during the treatment.
