Patient's question:
I don't know why I suddenly got sick, and I also feel uncomfortable. Please ask: How is orchitis usually treated?Doctor's answer:
It is best not to have sex when you have orchitis. Orchitis is an inflammatory condition of the testicles caused by various blood-borne pathogens. It is divided into two types: acute suppurative orchitis and mumps orchitis. When suffering from orchitis, sexual activity should not be engaged in. Since the testicles are in a state of congestion and edema due to inflammation, sexual intercourse with widespread congestion of the penis will worsen the swelling of the epididymis and hinder the resolution of inflammation. It is essential to gradually resume sexual activity only after the orchitis has healed. During the initial stages of recovery, the frequency of sexual intercourse should not be too high. Orchitis is a condition that is difficult to fully cure. Patients should maintain a positive mindset and face it with optimism, as this can boost their confidence in combating orchitis and believe that recovery is certain.
