Patient's question:
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 common factors that cause orchitis?Doctor's answer:
Testicular inflammation is usually caused by bacteria and viruses. The testicles rarely suffer bacterial infections again because they have a rich blood and lymphatic supply, making them highly resistant to bacterial infections. Most bacterial testicular inflammation is caused by inflammation of the adjacent epididymis. Generally, testicular inflammation is often triggered by external force trauma, and most hospitals can provide treatment for it. For patients with testicular inflammation, timely treatment can reduce the severity of the condition. If left untreated, it can affect overall health. Therefore, patients should seek timely and appropriate treatment, and in daily life, they should avoid overexertion and pay attention to personal hygiene. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
