Patient's question:
I had a cold a while ago, so I thought the fever and chills were caused by the cold. But the fever didn't go down, and when I went to the hospital, the doctor said I had orchitis. I don't know how I got this disease in the first place. Could you please tell me: How should orchitis be treated to get better?Doctor's answer:
Etiology of testicular inflammation: Testicular inflammation is often caused by the spread of inflammation from the bladder, urethra, and prostate through the vas deferens. Mechanical injuries such as trauma and bites can also lead to this condition. It may also be secondary to diseases such as Brucellosis and Coccidioidomycosis. The common pathogens of testicular inflammation include Escherichia coli, Proteus vulgaris, Staphylococcus, and Streptococcus. If not treated promptly, it can lead to azoospermia, anejaculation, infertility, and the transmission of inflammatory pathogens to close relatives, causing gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is hoped that male friends pay attention and seek timely treatment.
