Patient's question:
Recently, I've been feeling swollen and painful testicles, and I've been uncomfortable. I thought I might have been injured somewhere, but after checking at the hospital, they said it's testitis. I'm asking: How can testitis be cured?Doctor's answer:
Chronic testicular swelling presents with chronic edema, a hard texture, and a smooth surface, with reduced light touch sensitivity. In some cases, the testicles gradually enlarge, to the extent that in severe cases, the testicles are almost indistinguishable, reflecting a relatively smaller epididymis. In most cases, inflammation spreads from the epididymis to the testicles, with unclear boundaries between the two. Bilateral chronic orchitis often leads to infertility.Acute phase: High fever, chills, testicular pain radiating to the groin, accompanied by nausea and vomiting. Acute mumps orchitis typically occurs 3-4 days after a recurrence of mumps, with low-grade fever reaching up to 40°C, often accompanied by fatigue, scrotal redness and swelling, testicular enlargement, hydrocele, and significant tenderness. For patients with orchitis, timely treatment can reduce the risk of complications. If left untreated, it may affect fertility. In daily life, maintain a regular sex life and avoid prolonged sitting. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
