Patient's question:
This situation has been going on for a while. I feel like there's some fluid buildup in my testicles, and they are red and swollen. However, because it's that particular area, it's a bit embarrassing to see a doctor. I did some research and think it might be caused by orchitis. Could you please advise on how to prevent orchitis?Doctor's answer:
Do not wear jeans frequently. Generally speaking, the male reproductive system is best suited to lower temperatures. Sperm matures and develops better in an environment a few degrees higher than body temperature. Therefore, wearing jeans frequently can lead to excessive local temperature, which is unfavorable for sperm formation. As a result, men should avoid wearing jeans regularly, especially during the summer and in humid weather. Pay attention to genital hygiene to prevent bacterial infections. Not only women should prioritize private hygiene, but men should also pay close attention, especially those with phimosis and paraphimosis. They should frequently move and clean the penis to thoroughly remove smegma, as smegma not only repeatedly irritates the glans
