Patient's question:
Male, the left testicle is much larger than the right one, with obvious pain, making the groin 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, urgency and frequency of urination, and significant tenderness. It may also lead to (hydrocele). Chronic orchitis generally does not cause systemic symptoms, with the testicle gradually swelling and 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 abscess. It is recommended to seek medical follow-up promptly and take medication under the guidance of a doctor. For orchitis patients, timely treatment can reduce the severity of the condition. If left untreated, it may affect overall health.
