Patient's question:
I feel like I might have orchitis. I noticed that the skin on my testicles is particularly red, and it seems a bit swollen. It also hurts when I touch it. These symptoms have persisted for a week without any improvement. I'm still young and haven't even been married yet. I'm really scared. Could you please tell me: What are the common treatments for orchitis?Doctor's answer:
What are the common symptoms of orchitis? The systemic symptoms of orchitis are somewhat similar to those of a cold and fever, and can be accompanied by symptoms such as chills, nausea, and vomiting. These symptoms often reappear 3 to 4 days after a mumps recurrence, which can easily mislead men into thinking that taking some cold medicine will solve the problem, yet the condition may worsen.According to Dr. Jiu Long, the common systemic symptoms of orchitis in men include high fever, chills, nausea, and vomiting. Due to the lack of obvious early symptoms, this disease is often not detected in time, and patients may even be misdiagnosed as having other conditions. Therefore, it is important to learn more about orchitis. If you suspect you have symptoms of orchitis, you should seek proper diagnosis at a formal urological hospital.
