Patient's question:
For a while now, my testicles have been slightly swollen and aching. Recently, they started to hurt more, especially when touched, and the other side seems to be swollen as well. I'm very worried. Could you please tell me: How can testicular inflammation be treated to improve?Doctor's answer:
Common orchitis includes non-specific and mumps orchitis. Any purulent sepsis can lead to acute purulent orchitis of the second neuron, and even result 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 infection from epididymitis, so it should be referred to as epididymo-orchitis. Patients often experience testicular pain that radiates to the groin, with a noticeable sensation of heaviness, accompanied by high fever, nausea, vomiting, leukopenia, and other symptoms. At the same time, the testicles are significantly swollen and tender, and the scrotal skin is red and swollen.
