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 causes of orchitis?Doctor's answer:
Patients often experience recurrent testicular pain that radiates to the groin, accompanied by a noticeable sense of heaviness, along with symptoms such as high fever, nausea, vomiting, and leukopenia. At the same time, the testicles become significantly swollen and tender, and the scrotal skin becomes red and swollen. In children, recurrent viral orchitis is usually caused by infection with the mumps virus. In some cases, there may also be swelling and pain in the parotid glands. Viral testing can diagnose orchitis, which is treatable, but the treatment period is generally long, and the condition is prone to recurrence. Therefore, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment, take medication appropriately, and adopt a healthy lifestyle with proper diet during the treatment. We hope that male patients can recover as soon as possible!
