Patient's question:
Recently, I've been feeling a lot of pain in my testicles, and this week I've also had a fever. Usually, I feel cold, and when I take a bath, I notice that my testicles seem to contain a lot of liquid. Could you please tell me: What are the common causes of orchitis?Doctor's answer:
Hello! It might be orchitis. In addition to bloodborne transmission, trauma, and unclean sexual practices, orchitis is more commonly caused by bacteria retrograding from the urethra to the epididymis and testes, leading to epididymitis and orchitis. Clinical diagnosis is characterized by swelling and pain in the epididymis and testes. Orchital injury is often accompanied by a history of trauma and localized swelling or blood clots. It is recommended to seek a thorough examination and diagnosis at a reputable tertiary hospital. Treatment for testicular pain should be based on identifying its underlying cause and implementing symptomatic therapy. If the cause cannot be determined immediately, symptomatic treatment such as sedation and blood-activating measures can be administered. In necessary cases, iliac fossa procaine isolation therapy can be used to cut off the vicious cycle between the pain source of neuralgia and the brain's pain perception center.
