Patient's question:
Doctor, I have been experiencing testicular pain and itching recently. I went to the hospital for a check-up, and the doctor said I have testicular inflammation. What should I do about testicular inflammation?Doctor's answer:
Orchitis can be divided into acute orchitis and chronic orchitis. Acute orchitis is primarily characterized by sudden onset, high fever, chills, pain in the affected scrotum, tightness and redness of the skin, swelling, urgency and frequent urination, and significant tenderness, which may lead to second-degree neurilemmal cysts. Chronic orchitis generally does not present with systemic symptoms, and the testes gradually swell, forming a mass.For orchitis, early intravenous administration of large doses of broad-spectrum, effective antibiotics is necessary to control inflammation and reduce the risk of recurrent suppurative orchitis and testicular abscesses. For patients with orchitis, timely treatment can help prevent recurrence. If left untreated, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should seek timely symptomatic treatment and avoid overexertion in daily life while paying attention to personal hygiene. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
