Patient's question:
Fever has been high 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 tests are needed for orchitis?Doctor's answer:
Here is the English translation of the provided content, with the return characters kept as they are:Methods for carefully examining epididymitis are as follows:
1. Health examination reveals swelling, hardness, redness, and significant tenderness of the affected epididymis, sometimes involving the adjacent testis.
2. A case at 35 years old was caused by Gram-negative Escherichia coli. These men may experience recurrent pyuria, urinary tract infections, or have urinary system abnormalities or recent urological surgery. A thorough examination of the urogenital tract should be performed.
3. Urine culture can usually identify the infectious microorganism.
Good health! Epididymitis can directly affect male sperm quality, causing significant interference with male fertility. It is recommended that patients seek examination at a formal hospital and receive treatment targeting the root cause.
Wishing you a speedy recovery!
