Is testicular numbness testicular inflammation?

Patient's question:

Hello doctor, my testicles hurt, and I feel very uncomfortable. I went to the hospital for a check-up and was diagnosed with orchitis. I would like to ask, is testicular numbness a symptom of orchitis?

Doctor's answer:

Ejaculation numbness is not testicular inflammation. Testicular inflammation is caused by bacteria and viruses, primarily involving the migration of epididymitis to the testicles. The clinical manifestations of testicular inflammation include: high fever, chills, testicular pain, and a sense of testicular shock. To diagnose testicular inflammation, an scrotal ultrasound or a blood test is required. If testicular inflammation is not treated promptly, it may lead to other serious conditions, such as varicose veins, malignant tumors, sexual dysfunction, and infertility. For patients with testicular inflammation, timely treatment can reduce the risk of complications. If left untreated, it may affect overall health. Therefore, patients should seek timely symptomatic treatment and maintain a regular sex life while avoiding prolonged sitting. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
