Patient's question:
I recently have pain in my testicles and they are also itchy. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, I was diagnosed with orchitis. What should I do about the discomfort in my testicles and the reduced amount of semen?Doctor's answer:
The various organs of the perinatal urinary system are interconnected. Orchitis can interfere with the development of sperm in terms of quantity and quality. At the same time, it can also lead to urethritis, epididymitis, seminal vesiculitis, prostatitis, etc., through hematogenous, lymphatic, or direct spread. Additionally, prostatic fluid is an important component of semen. When the prostate is inflamed, it can cause abnormalities in semen color and liquefaction time. All of these factors can lead to male infertility. Considering that your two examination results are completely different, it is recommended that you go to a formal tertiary hospital for a detailed examination, diagnosis of the disease, and comprehensive treatment. Wishing you good health!
