Patient's question:
A few days ago, I had a cold, so I thought the fever and chills were caused by the cold. But the fever didn't go down, and when I went to the hospital, the doctor said I had orchitis. I don't know how I got this disease, but how should orchitis be treated?Doctor's answer:
Chronic orchitis is usually caused by delayed treatment of acute orchitis, but it can also be brought on by certain bacterial infections. Pathologically, it may manifest as testicular swelling or hardening, hyalinization of the basal membrane of seminiferous tubules, and degenerative changes with the loss of spermatogenic epithelial cells. Hardening may occur around the seminiferous tubules, and small fibrosis may also form.How to treat orchitis? It is recommended to go to a formal urological hospital to accurately screen for the specific bacterial, viral, or other pathogens causing the orchitis infection and provide symptomatic treatment. For orchitis patients, timely treatment can reduce the incidence, whereas delayed treatment can affect overall health.
