Patient's question:
A few days 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 for a check-up, the doctor said I had orchitis. I don't know how I got this disease in the first place. Could you please tell me: what are the symptoms of orchitis?Doctor's answer:
Based on your condition, it is inferred that there is testicular atrophy. During the first-stage orchiopexy, the spermatic cord vessels should be fully freed. When pulling the testis and vessels into the newly formed inguinal canal, be careful not to cause a recurrence. During the second-stage surgery, ensure that there is no recurrence within the inguinal canal. For the second-stage surgery, it is recommended that the first-stage Fowler-Stephens operation should not damage the triangular peritoneum between the distal spermatic cord vessels and the vas deferens, to avoid destroying the formation of its collateral circulation. Orchitis generally causes pain, so during the acute phase, try to minimize walking. Bed rest should be the primary approach to increase scrotal drooping and reduce pain. If you need to walk while going to bed, it is best to support the scrotum with gauze.
