Patient's question:
Last night while taking a shower, I noticed my testicles felt a bit swollen. I woke up earlier and thought I might have a fever, and it got worse in the afternoon. I went to the hospital for a check-up and was told I have orchitis. I'm really worried. Can orchitis inflammation be cured?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, orchitis is a common cause of testicular pain. There are many reasons that can lead to orchitis, such as patients with mumps, who may develop secondary orchitis, resulting in testicular pain and swelling. Gonorrhea is currently the most prevalent sexually transmitted disease. In severe cases, it can cause orchitis, leading to testicular pain and swelling. Chronic prostatitis can also cause testicular pain, characterized by unilateral pain, mostly dull or pulling pain, which is persistent. Microscopic examination of prostatic fluid reveals a large number of white blood cells. The patients are mostly young and middle-aged adults, with the elderly being less common. Orchitis tends to recur easily and requires long-term medication.
