Patient's question:
I currently feel constant pain in my testicles every day, and sometimes I also have high fever. I am really troubled now. Could you please tell me: What are the symptoms of orchitis?Doctor's answer:
Orchitis is an inflammatory condition of the testicles caused by various septic factors. The symptoms of orchitis include:1. High fever, chills.
2. Pain in the affected testicle, with referred pain in the scrotum, groin, and inguinal region.
3. Swelling and tenderness in the affected testicle. If inflamed, it may feel like a fluctuating sensation of pus upon palpation.
4. Often accompanied by redness and swelling of the scrotal skin and hydrocele (accumulation of fluid in the tunica vaginalis).
5. In children, recurrent viral orchitis may sometimes be associated with swollen and painful parotid glands.
Orchitis can be cured, but the treatment duration is usually long, and relapse is common after recovery. Therefore, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor’s medication plan during treatment. Additionally, patients should avoid prolonged sitting or riding and pay attention to personal hygiene. We hope male patients can recover quickly!
