Patient's question:
Testicles are particularly swollen and painful, accompanied by pain in the perineum and inner thighs. The quality of sexual life is also declining day by day. What are the systemic symptoms of orchitis?Doctor's answer:
The main symptoms of orchitis are pain and swelling in one testicle, with some experiencing a recurrence of fever. After the symptoms of orchitis reappear, there may be a reduction in testicular size and pain. In severe cases, systemic symptoms such as fever and elevated white blood cell count may also occur.After developing orchitis, the first step is to administer anti-inflammatory treatment, followed by intravenous fluid therapy for a faster recovery. Additionally, underwear should be worn tighter to support the scrotum, which can help reduce pain. A warm towel should be applied to the scrotum daily for cold compress, preferably with a bit of magnesium sulfate, which can slow down the subsidence and absorption of inflammation.
Orchitis tends to recur, requiring long-term medication.
