Patient's question:
I recently have pain in my testicles and they are also itchy. I went to the hospital for a check-up and was diagnosed with orchitis. How should orchitis be treated?Doctor's answer:
Orchitis can lead to a decline in male sexual function, even complete loss of sexual function, causing difficulties in. Orchitis often recurs due to urethritis and cystitis. The common pathogens include Escherichia coli, Proteus, Staphylococcus, Enterococcus, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The transmission routes mainly include hematogenous transmission, direct transmission, and lymphatic transmission. Clinical diagnosis primarily manifests as pain, groin and lower abdominal reflexes, accompanied by chills, high fever, and gastrointestinal symptoms. It is also necessary to differentiate epididymitis, where the boundaries between the epididymis and testis are unclear, the epididymis becomes hard, and the vas deferens becomes thickened. If you notice any problems, please seek medical attention promptly. After identifying the cause, targeted treatment should be administered to avoid delaying the condition.
