Patient's question:
Last night while taking a shower, I noticed some pain in my testicles. I felt a bit feverish when I got up early, and it got worse in the afternoon. I went to the hospital for a check-up and was told I have orchitis. I'm really worried. Could you please tell me what are the main symptoms of orchitis?Doctor's answer:
The main 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, with a sense of fluctuating pus if inflammation is present. (4) often accompanied by redness and swelling of the scrotal skin and hydrocele in the scrotum. (5) in children, recurrent viral orchitis may sometimes be accompanied by swollen and painful parotid glands. If you notice the symptoms of the disease, you should first go to a regular hospital for a detailed examination, and seek treatment when necessary. Do not act blindly and follow the doctor's advice. Wish you a speedy recovery.
