Patient's question:
Testicular pain, with radiating pain in the scrotum, groin, and inner thigh area. Is this a symptom of orchitis?Doctor's answer:
Acute orchitis is primarily characterized by testicular pain as the initial symptom, with acute recurrence, swelling and pain in the testicles, redness and swelling in the scrotum, and no urinary tract symptoms. The temperature can rise to 40°C, and pain may cause difficulty in movement. The testicles on one or both sides may become swollen and exhibit significant tenderness. The boundaries with the epididymis are unclear. Sometimes, acute testicular hydrocele may develop as a complication. Orchitis can be stabilized, but the treatment period is generally long, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, medications must be used symptomatically during treatment, and patients should maintain a light diet, avoid foods, and refrain from smoking and drinking beer. We hope that male patients can recover quickly!
