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. Will testicular damage affect fertility?Doctor's answer:
The testis is an important reproductive organ in males, primarily responsible for sperm production and the excretion of sex hormones. When the testis is damaged, it can interfere with its normal function, thereby affecting normal fertility. Male diseases can be cured, but the treatment period is usually long, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, medication must be used according to the specific symptoms during treatment. Additionally, patients should avoid prolonged sitting or riding and pay close attention to personal hygiene. We hope that male patients can recover as soon as possible!
