What are the hazards of getting orchitis?

Patient's question:

Testicular inflammation has been treated with medication for several days, but the effect is not obvious. The testicles are still swollen and painful, making it difficult to walk, and I can only lie down. What are the dangers of testicular inflammation?

Doctor's answer:

The hazards of orchitis are multifaceted.
1. It can lead to varicocele, nephritis, urinary tract infections, and other conditions.
2. It may cause an increase in male sexual function, or even complete loss of sexual function.
3. The infectious bacteria from the inflammatory disease can be transmitted to close relatives, potentially causing gynecological diseases.
4. It may result in limb coldness, lower back pain, and symptoms associated with aging.
It is recommended to undergo a thorough examination to accurately diagnose your condition before receiving targeted treatment. Be advised to avoid taking medication blindly, reduce the intake of spicy and irritating foods, and refrain from smoking and drinking alcohol. Pay attention to hygiene of the genital area.
For orchitis patients, timely treatment can reduce the severity of the condition. If left untreated, it may negatively impact overall health.
