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 am really very worried. Could you please tell me what the specific symptoms of orchitis are?Doctor's answer:
Hello. The testicular pain often recurs and radiates to the groin, accompanied by a noticeable heavy sensation, as well as high fever, nausea, vomiting, and leukopenia. At the same time, the testicles are swollen and extremely tender, with redness and swelling of the scrotal skin. For patients with orchitis, timely treatment can reduce the risk of complications. If left untreated, it can affect overall health. Therefore, patients should take medication promptly and maintain a regular sexual life while avoiding prolonged sitting. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
