Gently squeezing a baby's testicles does it cause any harm?

Patient's question:

A few weeks ago, I had a cold, so I thought the fever and chills were caused by the cold. But the fever didn't go down, and when I went to the hospital, the doctor said I had orchitis. I don't know how I got this disease, but I'm asking: Is there any harm in gently squeezing a baby's testicles?

Doctor's answer:

Based on your situation, it is speculated that as long as the baby has two testicles that can descend into the scrotum, it is not necessary to frequently squeeze them.
Recommendations:
It is recommended to pay attention to rest during the day. Since the baby is very young, parents need to be patient and observe carefully. For breastfeeding, adults should avoid extremely cold or irritating foods and pay attention to preventing colds. Prostate diseases are prone to recurrence, so long-term medication is required.
For male patients, it is important to actively seek diagnosis at professional and reputable hospitals. Treatment should be considered based on the results of the examination. Additionally, it is necessary to restrain sexual activity and maintain a positive mood. Finally, we wish all patients a speedy recovery.
