What are the common causes of orchitis?

Patient's question:

Testicles are particularly swollen and painful, accompanied by pain in the perineum and inner thighs. The quality of sexual life is also getting worse day by day. What are the common causes of orchitis?

Doctor's answer:

Common orchitis includes non-specific and mumps orchitis. Any purulent sepsis can lead to acute purulent orchitis of the second-order neurons, and even result in testicular abscess. The pathogens are mostly Escherichia coli, Streptococcus, Staphylococcus, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. In fact, the most common cause of purulent orchitis is the spread of infection from epididymitis, so it should actually be called epididymo-orchitis. Patients often experience testicular pain that radiates to the groin, a noticeable sensation of heaviness, accompanied by high fever, nausea, vomiting, leukopenia, and other symptoms. At the same time, the testicles are significantly swollen and tender, and the scrotal skin is red and swollen.
