Patient's question:
Continuous high fever, and I'm particularly afraid of cold. At first, I thought it was just a cold, but then I noticed my testicles were getting more and more painful, and when I touched them, it felt like there was water inside. I went to the hospital for a check-up and was diagnosed with orchitis: Please ask: Simple methods to treat orchitisDoctor's answer:
Acute orchitis primarily presents with testicular pain as the initial main symptom, with acute recurrence, testicular swelling and pain, redness and swelling of the scrotum, and no urinary tract symptoms. The temperature can rise to as high as 40°C, and mobility may be impaired due to pain. One or both testicles may become swollen with significant tenderness. The boundary between the testicle and the epididymis may be unclear. At times, acute testicular hydrocele may develop as a complication. Orchitis can be resolved, but the treatment process is generally slow, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, active cooperation with the doctor's treatment plan is essential during treatment, appropriate medication should be used, and patients should maintain a light diet, avoid foods, and not smoke or drink beer. We hope male patients can recover quickly!
