Is orchitis very harmful?

Patient's question:

Can I have sex after being diagnosed with orchitis? There is a pain sensation during ejaculation after sexual intercourse, and I am a bit worried. Is orchitis very harmful?

Doctor's answer:

The testicles are important male reproductive organs, and they are the primary condition for the birth of a baby. Since the testicles are the site of sperm production, any abnormalities can affect future fertility. Therefore, if a male friend discovers he has orchitis, it is essential to seek timely treatment. Specific harms include: 1. Leading to varicocele, prostatitis, varicocele, and endocrine diseases; 2. Causing sexual dysfunction; 3. Resulting in male infertility. It is recommended that your situation be addressed by seeking a thorough examination and diagnosis at a professional urological hospital before undergoing treatment. For orchitis patients, timely treatment can reduce the risk of complications, whereas delayed treatment can affect overall health.
