Doctor's answer:

Orchitis can be divided into acute orchitis and chronic orchitis. Acute orchitis is primarily characterized by sudden onset, high fever, chills, pain in the affected scrotum, tightness and redness of the skin, swelling, urgency and frequency of urination, and significant tenderness, which may lead to. Chronic orchitis generally does not cause systemic symptoms, with the testes gradually swelling and forming a lump. For orchitis, early intravenous administration of large doses of broad-spectrum effective antibiotics should be used to suppress inflammation and reduce the recurrence of purulent orchitis and testicular abscesses. The condition of orchitis tends to recur, requiring long-term medication.
