Patient's question:
Hello doctor, I have pain in my testicles and feel very uncomfortable. I got tested and was diagnosed with orchitis. I would like to ask, what are the symptoms of orchitis?Doctor's answer:
Patients often have systemic symptoms such as high fever, chills, nausea, and dry vomiting. The local symptoms include testicular pain, which can sometimes be severe and radiate to the groin. The scrotal skin may become red and swollen, and the testicles are significantly enlarged and tender to touch. It is recommended to seek a formal hospital for a thorough examination to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment. Pay attention to your diet, eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, and avoid smoking and drinking beer. Do not consume irritating foods, and limit the intake of so-called "inducing foods" such as pig trotters, fish soup, and mutton to prevent exacerbation of edema in the inflamed area.
