Is orchitis require treatment?

Patient's question:

I am a male, 28 years old, and have no bad habits. However, I was recently diagnosed with orchitis. Now, I feel constant pain in my testicles, and sometimes I also have high fever. I am really troubled. Could you please answer: Is orchitis treatable?

Doctor's answer:

Clinically, it is often referred to as epididymitis-orchitis. The pathogens are mainly Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus, and Streptococcus. Acute orchitis in children is often caused by the mumps virus. For orchitis patients, timely treatment can reduce the incidence of the disease. If not treated promptly, it will affect the physical condition. Therefore, patients should seek timely symptomatic treatment and pay more attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
