Patient's question:
For a while now, my testicles have been slightly swollen and aching. Recently, they've started to hurt, especially when touched, and it feels particularly severe. It seems there's also some swelling on the other side. I'm very worried. How should I treat testicular inflammation?Doctor's answer:
How should orchitis be treated? What are the causes of it? The causes of orchitis: Orchitis is often caused by the spread of inflammation from the bladder, urethra, and prostate through the vas deferens. Mechanical injuries such as trauma and bites can also lead to this condition. It may also be secondary to diseases such as Brucella and coccidioidomycosis. The common pathogens of orchitis include Escherichia coli, Proteus vulgaris, Staphylococcus, and Streptococcus, etc. If it is not treated in time, it can lead to dead sperm, azoospermia, loss of fertility, and the transmission of inflammatory pathogens to close relatives, causing gynecological diseases. Therefore, men should pay attention and seek timely treatment. It is also recommended to go to a formal hospital for treatment.
