Patient's question:
This situation has been going on for a while. I always feel like there's some fluid accumulation in the testicles, and they are swollen and red. However, because it's a sensitive area, I haven't been comfortable going to the doctor. I did some research and think it might be testicular inflammation. Could you please tell me: How can I recover from the symptoms of testicular inflammation?Doctor's answer:
Chronic orchitis is usually caused by delayed treatment of acute orchitis or may be brought on by certain bacterial infections. Pathologically, it may manifest as testicular swelling or hardening, hyalinization of the basal membrane of seminiferous tubules, and degenerative changes with loss of spermatogenic epithelial cells. Hardening may occur around the seminiferous tubules, and small fibrosis may also form.How to treat orchitis? It is recommended to go to a formal urological hospital to accurately screen for the specific bacteria, viruses, or other pathogens causing the orchitis infection, and then receive symptomatic treatment. The condition of orchitis tends to recur, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is essential to seek medical attention at a professional and formal hospital, and treatment should be considered based on the examination results. Additionally, it is important to quit smoking and drinking, maintain personal hygiene, and finally, wish all patients a speedy recovery.
