Patient's question:
Last night while taking a shower, I touched my testicles and felt a bit of pain. I woke up earlier and seemed to have a fever, which got worse in the afternoon. I went to the hospital for a check-up and was told I have orchitis. I'm really very worried. Could you please tell me what are the characteristics of orchitis?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, these two orchitis are inflammation of the testicles, while epididymitis is inflammation of the epididymis, which is an unnecessary organ. The epididymis is the part that lies on top of the testicles. It is recommended that this epididymitis is more prone to occur, but if it does become inflamed, timely treatment must be implemented. Orchitis can be cured, but the treatment process is generally slow, and it is prone to relapse after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment, use medication appropriately, and avoid sitting or riding for long periods. Pay attention to personal hygiene. We hope that the male patient can recover as soon as possible!
