Patient's question:
For a while now, my testicles have been slightly swollen with a dull ache. Recently, they've started to hurt, especially when touched, and it's very severe. It seems the other side is also somewhat swollen. I'm very worried. What should I do to recover quickly from orchitis?Doctor's answer:
Most cases of orchitis in general men are caused by viruses, often triggered by various inflammatory infections. When a man suffers from orchitis, the onset is usually acute, accompanied by prolonged feverish discomfort and chills. The testicles on one or both sides may become swollen and painful, which should prompt attention to the disease.The testicles are where male sperm develop and grow, playing a crucial role in male fertility. If the testicles become inflamed, it can significantly disrupt sperm development and growth. Orchitis tends to be recurrent, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is essential to seek treatment at a professional and reputable hospital immediately. Treatment should be based on examination results. Additionally, it is important to abstain from sexual activity, maintain a positive mood, and wish all patients a speedy recovery.
