Patient's question:
Last night while taking a shower, I noticed my testicles felt a bit swollen. I woke up earlier and thought I might have a fever, and it got worse in the afternoon. I went to the hospital for a check-up and was told I have orchitis. I'm really worried. Could you please tell me what are the post-operative complications of orchitis?Doctor's answer:
1. Leads to serious diseases such as varicocele, orchitis, prostatitis, endocrine diseases, kidney diseases like nephritis, urinary tract infections, and malignant tumors.2. Causes an increase in male sexual function, or even complete loss of sexual function.
3. Results in dead sperm, azoospermia, infertility, and transmits inflammatory pathogens to direct relatives, triggering gynecological diseases.
4. Persistent untreated testicular diseases. Testicular inflammation can be cured, but the treatment process is usually slow, and relapse is common after recovery. Therefore, medications must be used symptomatically during treatment. Additionally, patients should avoid prolonged sitting or riding and pay close attention to personal hygiene. It is hoped that male patients can recover quickly.
