Patient's question:
For a while now, my testicles have been slightly swollen and aching. Recently, they've started to hurt, especially when touched, and it feels particularly severe. It seems there's also some swelling on the other side. I'm very worried. Could you please tell me how testorchitis is treated and how it's handled?Doctor's answer:
Bacterial infection. A common cause of orchitis is bacterial infection. The main pathogens include Proteus, Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus, etc. These pathogenic bacteria usually enter the urinary tract through the urethra, leading to urethritis, cystitis, and prostatitis, and then infiltrate the epididymis and testes through the lymphatic system or the lumen of the vas deferens, resulting in epididymitis and orchitis. Sexual activity should not be too frequent, and it should be moderate, which can bring joy and experience, benefiting both the body and health. However, if one indulges excessively and lacks restraint, prolonged congestion during intercourse can lead to increased sexual function, making it easier to develop prostatitis, benign prostatic hyperplasia, premature ejaculation, orchitis, and inability to ejaculate.
