Patient's question:
Last night while taking a shower, I touched my testicles and felt some pain. I woke up earlier and seemed to have a fever, which got worse in the afternoon. I went to the hospital for a check-up and was told I have orchitis. I am really worried. Could you please tell me how much it usually costs for the routine examination for orchitis?Doctor's answer:
Testicular can recur after urethritis and cystitis. The common pathogens include Escherichia coli, Proteus, Staphylococcus, Streptococcus faecalis, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The transmission routes are mainly divided into hematogenous transmission, direct transmission, and lymphatic transmission. Clinical diagnosis mainly manifests as pain radiating to the inguinal region and lower abdomen, accompanied by chills, high fever, and gastrointestinal symptoms. It is also necessary to rule out epididymitis, where the boundaries between the epididymis, testis, and epididymis become unclear, the epididymis becomes hardened, and the vas deferens becomes thickened. If you notice any problems, please seek medical attention promptly. After identifying the cause, targeted treatment should be administered to avoid delaying the condition. If left untreated, the disease can worsen, potentially leading to sexual dysfunction and infertility. It is recommended that you visit a hospital for a thorough examination and treatment. During the treatment period, avoid sexual activity, spicy foods, and smoking or excessive alcohol consumption. Finally, we wish you good health.
