Patient's question:
My testicles have grown a bit larger, and there is pain during ejaculation after intercourse. The next day, I experience lower back and leg pain. The hospital said it's testitis. What are the standard treatments for testitis?Doctor's answer:
The main symptoms of orchitis are a sudden onset, fever with chills, and swelling and pain in one or both testicles. Common pathogens include Staphylococcus, Streptococcus, E. coli, and others. Viruses can directly attack the testicles, with the most common being the mumps virus. This pathogen primarily affects the parotid glands in children, leading to "mumps." If not treated promptly, the harm can be significant, potentially causing dead sperm, azoospermia, infertility, and transmitting infectious pathogens to close relatives, which may trigger gynecological diseases and cause great harm to the wife. It is recommended to eat more fresh vegetables and fruits to enhance the intake of components like vitamin C, thereby improving the body's anti-inflammatory ability.
