Patient's question:
Doctor, I have been experiencing testicular pain and itching recently. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, I was diagnosed with orchitis. What are the early symptoms of orchitis?Doctor's answer:
The early symptoms of orchitis include: testicular swelling, pain, heat, and sometimes accompanied by chills. When a man suffers from acute orchitis, he may also experience difficulty during intercourse, as the blood rush caused by excitement can lead to pain in the inflamed testicle. The pressure during intercourse, as well as the rapid movement and elevation of the testicle, can also cause pain. Orchitis can be cured as long as symptoms are detected and timely, systematic, and effective treatment is administered to prevent testicular damage.
