Patient's question:
I am an office white-collar worker. Throughout the day at work, I sit down and am very busy, so I rarely get up to move around. Because of this, I was recently told that I have orchitis. Now, I am in great pain every day and don't know what to do. Please ask: What are the causes of orchitis?Doctor's answer:
Testicular can recur due to urethritis and cystitis. The common pathogens include Escherichia coli, Proteus, Staphylococcus, Streptococcus faecalis, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The transmission routes are mainly divided into hematogenous transmission, direct transmission, and lymphatic transmission. Clinical diagnosis primarily manifests as pain radiating to the ipsilateral inguinal region and lower abdomen, accompanied by chills, high fever, and gastrointestinal symptoms. It is also necessary to rule out epididymitis, where the boundaries between the epididymis and testis become unclear, the epididymis becomes hardened, and the vas deferens becomes thickened. Testicular can be stabilized, but the treatment duration is generally long, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, active cooperation with the doctor's medication plan is essential during treatment. Additionally, patients should avoid prolonged sitting or riding and pay close attention to personal hygiene. We hope male patients can recover quickly!
