Patient's question:
I am an office white-collar worker. Throughout the day, I sit at my desk and am very busy, so I rarely get up to move around. Because of this, I was recently told that I have orchitis. Now, I am in constant pain every day and don't know what to do. Please ask: What is the best way to treat orchitis?Doctor's answer:
Testicular can recur following urethritis and cystitis. The common pathogens include Escherichia coli, Proteus, Staphylococcus, Streptococcus faecalis, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The transmission routes are primarily divided into hematogenous transmission, direct transmission, and lymphatic transmission. Clinical diagnosis mainly manifests as pain radiating to the ipsilateral inguinal region and lower abdomen, accompanied by chills, high fever, and gastrointestinal symptoms. It is also necessary to differentiate it from epididymitis, where the boundaries between the epididymis, testis, and epididymis become unclear, the epididymis becomes hardened, and the vas deferens becomes thickened. Please seek medical attention promptly for follow-up diagnosis. Once the cause is identified, targeted treatment should be initiated to avoid delaying the condition. If left untreated, the disease can worsen, potentially leading to sexual dysfunction and infertility.
