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 symptoms and manifestations of orchitis?Doctor's answer:
Orchitis is an inflammation of the testicles caused by bacteria entering through the bloodstream, lymphatic system, or direct spread. The main symptoms include redness and swelling of the scrotal skin, swelling of the testicles, significant tenderness, pain radiating to the groin and perineum, a sensation of heaviness, and systemic symptoms such as high fever, chills, nausea, and vomiting during acute recurrence. If orchitis is not treated properly, it may lead to impaired sperm production. Downward transmission can also cause inflammation of other reproductive organs. It is recommended that you visit a hospital for follow-up treatment and take medication under the guidance of a doctor. Wishing you good health!
