Patient's question:
Continuous high fever, and I'm especially 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: What are the early symptoms of epididymitis?Doctor's answer:
If the treatment for acute orchitis is not thorough, it can turn into chronic orchitis. Chronic orchitis is more common, and some patients develop it because the acute phase was not fully resolved, but the majority of patients do not have a clear acute phase. The inflammation is often secondary to chronic prostatitis or injury. Patients often experience dull pain and a heavy sensation in the affected scrotum, with the pain frequently radiating to the lower abdomen and the same inguinal region. Sometimes, secondary hydrocele may also develop. In daily life, many men are unaware of the symptoms of orchitis, and when the disease reappears, they do not seek timely treatment, causing significant harm to their health. If you experience the symptoms of orchitis mentioned above, you should seek medical treatment promptly.
