Can men with orchitis still have children?

Patient's question:

The testicles have a pain issue. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, please ask if there will still be an impact on future fertility issues if the treatment is cured. Can someone with orchitis still have fertility?

Doctor's answer:

It's best to have a semen test done at the hospital! Orchitis is a common urological disease with an incidence rate of 12% to 18%. Clinically, it is mainly divided into two types: acute suppurative orchitis and mumps orchitis, with acute suppurative orchitis being the most common. The main manifestations of acute suppurative orchitis include a rapid onset, fever with chills, and unilateral or bilateral testicular swelling and pain. Mumps orchitis primarily presents with testicular swelling and pain, redness, swelling, and fever, which are secondary to mumps.
