Patient's question:
I am a 32-year-old male with no bad habits, but I was recently diagnosed with orchitis. Now, I feel constant pain in my testicles and sometimes have high fever. I am really troubled. Could you please tell me how to treat orchitis?Doctor's answer:
Hello, there are two common types of orchitis: non-specific and mumps-related. Any purulent sepsis can lead to acute purulent orchitis in the second-order neurons, even resulting in testicular abscess. The causative pathogens are mostly Escherichia coli, Streptococcus, Staphylococcus, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. In fact, the most common cause of purulent orchitis is actually the spread of epididymitis, hence it should be referred to as epididymo-orchitis. Patients often experience testicular pain that radiates to the groin, a noticeable sensation of heaviness, accompanied by high fever, nausea, vomiting, leukopenia, and other symptoms. The testicles become significantly swollen and tender, with marked redness and swelling of the scrotal skin. If this condition is detected, it is necessary to seek medical diagnosis promptly.
