Patient's question:
This situation has been going on for a while. I always feel like there's some fluid accumulation in the testicles, and they are also 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 tell me: What are the specific causes of orchitis?Doctor's answer:
Mostly seen in the late stage of puberty. The testicles are highly swollen and purplish-blue to the naked eye. When the testicles are incised, due to the reflection of the stroma and edema, the seminiferous tubules cannot be expelled. Histological examination reveals edema and vascular expansion, with a large number of inflammatory cells infiltrating. The seminiferous tubules show varying degrees of degeneration. During the scarring of orchitis, the testicles become smaller and softer. Eat more fresh vegetables and fruits to enhance the intake of components such as vitamin C, thereby reducing the body's anti-inflammatory ability. Eat less trotter, fish soup, mutton, and other so-called "irritating" foods to avoid increasing the secretion of inflammatory lesions, further spreading the orchitis, and alleviating symptoms. Pay attention not to eat spicy and irritating foods, do not smoke or drink beer, and do not stand or sit for long periods.
