Patient's question:
Testicular inflammation has been treated with medication for several days, but the effect is not obvious. The testicles still feel swollen and painful, making it difficult to walk and forcing me to lie down. Is the harm of testicular inflammation very serious?Doctor's answer:
The hazards of orchitis are as follows:1. May lead to dangerous diseases: Orchitis can lead to various serious conditions such as varicocele, epididymitis, prostatitis, endocrine disorders, kidney diseases (e.g., nephritis), urinary tract infections, and even malignant tumors, all of which severely threaten men's lives.
2. Can cause sexual dysfunction: Orchitis may result in the decline or complete loss of male sexual function, bringing difficulties to intimate relationships.
3. Loss of fertility: The hazards of orchitis can also lead to azoospermia (no sperm) or oligospermia (few sperm), resulting in infertility. Additionally, it can transmit inflammatory pathogens to close relatives, potentially causing gynecological diseases and causing significant harm to the wife.
