Patient's question:
Recently, I've been feeling constant pain in my testicles, and this week alone, I've had a fever twice. I often feel cold, and when I take a bath, I touch my testicles and feel as if there's a lot of liquid inside. Question: What could be the cause of the symptoms of orchitis?Doctor's answer:
Hello, orchitis is mostly caused by bacteria and viruses, divided into two types: acute suppurative orchitis and mumps orchitis, with acute suppurative orchitis being the most common. The causes include many factors such as infection, trauma, and tumors. Orchitis requires prompt treatment to avoid complications that may affect future fertility. During the illness, bed rest is recommended, and it is important to maintain good hygiene of the external genitalia. The scrotum should be elevated and cold compresses applied. Medications are used to control infection, and spicy foods, alcohol, and smoking should be avoided. Orchitis patients can use dietary therapy as a supplementary treatment while receiving professional medical care. A balanced diet should be maintained in daily life, avoiding irritating foods.
