Patient's question:
Left testicular swelling, examination says there is inflammation. Currently, there is aching pain near the genital area, and nothing can be done. Please ask what are the specific symptoms of orchitis?Doctor's answer:
Specialized hospitals for treating orchitis, when a testicular tumor causes testicular swelling, generally does not cause severe pain, sometimes only a sense of fullness and heaviness. The swollen testicle becomes firm and loses elasticity after a period of time. In the early stage, the surface of the testicle is smooth, but in the late stage, it becomes nodular and uneven, with recurrent purulent softening and suppuration, eventually connecting to the scrotal skin, making the surface of the scrotum appear dark red, accompanied by complete twisting and expansion of blood vessels. Untreated orchitis can lead to a series of urinary system infections such as scrotal inflammation, cystitis, and urethritis. Therefore, when you notice symptoms of orchitis, it is essential to go to the hospital promptly for examination and treatment.
