Patient's question:
Now every day I feel very painful testicles, and sometimes I also have high fever. I am really troubled now. Please ask: what are the hazards of orchitis?Doctor's answer:
Testicular inflammation is usually caused by bacteria and viruses. The general symptoms include testicular pain that radiates to the groin, a noticeable heavy sensation, accompanied by high fever, nausea, vomiting, and leukopenia. The testicles become significantly swollen and tender, and the scrotal skin becomes red and swollen. Treatment typically involves antibiotics, bed rest, elevating the scrotum, local cold compresses, physical therapy, and 1% lidocaine spermatic cord block anesthesia to reduce pain. If an abscess forms, it should be drained through incision. It is important to pay attention to personal hygiene.
