Patient's question:
Recently, I've been feeling constant pain in my testicles, and this week alone, I've had a fever twice. I usually feel cold, and when I take a shower, I notice that my testicles seem to contain a lot of fluid. Please ask: What causes orchitis?Doctor's answer:
Testicular inflammation is usually caused by bacteria and viruses. The testicles themselves rarely experience bacterial infections. Most bacterial testicular infections are a result of inflammation in the adjacent epididymis. Viruses can directly attack the testicles, with the most common being the mumps virus, which primarily affects children's salivary glands. Testicular inflammation tends to recur, requiring long-term medication. Additionally, male patients should seek immediate treatment at professional and reputable hospitals, with treatment decisions based on examination results. Proper diet and abstinence from sexual activity should also be observed. Finally, we wish all patients a speedy recovery.
