Patient's question:
Male, the left testicle is much larger than the right one, with obvious pain, making the inner thigh uncomfortable, and lower back pain. What are the classifications of orchitis?Doctor's answer:
Orchitis can be divided into acute orchitis and chronic orchitis. Acute orchitis is primarily characterized by sudden onset, high fever, chills, pain in the affected scrotum, tightness and redness of the skin, swelling, urgent urination, frequent urination, and significant tenderness. It may also lead to (sementum effusion). Chronic orchitis generally does not present with systemic symptoms, and the testicles gradually swell, forming a lump.For orchitis, early intravenous administration of large doses of effective antibiotics should be used to suppress inflammation and reduce the risk of recurrent purulent orchitis and testicular abscesses. It is recommended to seek medical follow-up promptly and take medication under the guidance of a doctor. For patients with orchitis, timely treatment can reduce the incidence of the condition. If left untreated, it may affect overall health.
