Patient's question:
Testicular pain, with radiating pain in the scrotum, groin, and inner thigh area. The doctor said it's orchitis. How does orchitis come about?Doctor's answer:
There are several causes of orchitis, such as infections, trauma, and tumors, all of which can lead to orchitis. There are three common types of infections: self-infection, lymphatic infection, and direct spread from the epididymis. It is important to pay attention to personal hygiene, wash frequently (make sure to clean both the inside and outside, avoid using strongly scented soaps), take baths often (avoid bathing with others as much as possible), and change underwear frequently (preferably expose underwear to sunlight). After defecating, use toilet paper from front to back to avoid industrial pollution of the urethra. Orchitis tends to be recurrent, so it is necessary to seek treatment at a professional and reputable hospital based on examination results. Additionally, it is important to limit sexual activity and maintain a positive mood. Finally, I wish all patients a speedy recovery.
