Patient's question:
Continuous high fever and I am particularly 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 acute orchitis. Please ask: What is the best way to treat orchitis?Doctor's answer:
What are the hazards of epididymitis? It interferes with the function of the epididymis and can lead to male infertility. After the epididymis is infected by pathogens, they can directly harm the sperm in the epididymal tubes, inhibiting sperm motility or causing sperm to clump together, thereby reducing their mobility. At the same time, the large number of decomposition metabolites produced during the inflammatory response can also harm sperm or alter their living environment, causing increased sperm motility or sperm deformities. Patients with epididymitis often experience recurrent prostatic congestion, and the pathological excitation of the spinal ejaculation center can lead to frequent nocturnal emissions. Epididymitis is one of the common reproductive system diseases, primarily affecting young and middle-aged male populations.
