Patient's question:
I have had high fever for 2 days and I am particularly afraid of cold. At first, I thought it was just a cold, but then I noticed that my testicles were getting more and more painful, and when I touched them, it felt like there was water inside. The hospital examination confirmed it was orchitis: Please ask: How can orchitis be treated to recover health?Doctor's answer:
Hello, based on your condition, orchitis is caused by various different septic factors, leading to inflammatory lesions of the testes. It manifests as acute purulent orchitis and mumps orchitis. Generally, the prognosis is good, but in some cases, it may lead to testicular atrophy and male infertility. The affected testis shows diffuse reduction in size, still maintaining an oblong shape. In the acute phase, the main symptoms are testicular swelling and tenderness, with referred pain to the inguinal region. If there is a bacterial infection, it can form an abscess, causing a (shaking sensation). Orchitis patients often experience swelling and redness of the scrotal skin. The testis is a crucial reproductive gland in males, and any issues with it can directly affect future fertility and sexual function.
