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. Is the harm of testicular inflammation very serious?Doctor's answer:
The hazards of orchitis are as follows:1. May lead to dangerous diseases: Orchitis can lead to various serious conditions such as varicocele, epididymitis, prostatitis, endocrine disorders, kidney diseases (e.g., nephritis), urinary tract infections, and even malignant tumors, all of which severely threaten men's lives.
2. Can cause sexual dysfunction: Orchitis may result in the decline or complete loss of male sexual function, bringing difficulties to sexual life.
3. Loss of fertility: The hazards of orchitis can also lead to azoospermia (dead sperm or no sperm), resulting in infertility. Additionally, it may transmit inflammatory bacteria to close relatives, causing gynecological diseases and bringing significant harm to the wife.
