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 causes of orchitis?Doctor's answer:
Testicular is usually caused by bacteria and viruses. The testicles rarely suffer from bacterial infections due to their rich blood and lymphatic supply, which provides strong resistance to bacterial infections. Most bacterial testicular infections are caused by inflammation of the adjacent epididymis, hence the term epididymo-testicular. Common pathogens include Staphylococcus, Streptococcus, E. coli, etc. Viruses can directly attack the testicles, with the most common being the mumps virus, which often leads to viral testicular shortly after a mumps outbreak.
