Patient's question:
Last night while taking a shower, I touched my testicles and felt some pain. I woke up earlier and seemed to have a fever, which got worse in the afternoon. I went to the hospital for a check-up and was told I have orchitis. I am really worried. Could you please tell me how much it might cost to treat orchitis at the hospital?Doctor's answer:
Orchitis presents with symptoms such as testicular enlargement, congestion, and tension. The seminiferous tubules exhibit inflammation, peeling, and pus formation. In severe cases, it can lead to the formation of testicular abscesses and testicular infarction. It may also result in symptoms such as a hard testicle with a smooth surface, mild tenderness, and loss of normal sensitivity. Some testicles gradually swell, and in severe cases, the testicles may be almost indistinguishable. The epididymis may appear relatively smaller. It is recommended to consult a professional urological hospital for follow-up treatment, with costs varying based on the patient's condition. In daily life, it is important to bathe frequently, maintain local hygiene, develop good personal habits, avoid smoking and alcohol, eat more fruits and vegetables, and maintain a regular lifestyle. I wish you good health. Orchitis can be cured.
