Patient's question:
I am a male, 28 years old, and have no bad habits. However, I was recently diagnosed with orchitis. Now, I feel severe pain in my testicles every day, and sometimes I also have high fever. I am really troubled now. Could you please tell me: What are the complications of orchitis?Doctor's answer:
The complications caused by orchitis are as follows:1. Leading to an increase in male sexual function, or even complete loss of sexual function.
2. Causing dead sperm, azoospermia, infertility, and transmitting inflammatory pathogens to close relatives, which may trigger gynecological diseases.
3. Acute non-specific orchitis. This condition often recurs in patients with urethritis, cystitis, prostatitis, post-prostatectomy, or those with long-term indwelling catheters.
4. Chronic non-specific orchitis. This condition is often a result of incomplete treatment of acute non-specific orchitis. It can also be caused by infections with fungi, spirochetes, or parasites.
