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 causes of orchitis?Doctor's answer:
Etiology of Testicular Inflammation: Testicular inflammation is often caused by the spread of inflammation from the bladder, urethra, and prostate through the vas deferens. Mechanical injuries such as trauma and bites can also lead to this condition. At times, it may be secondary to diseases like Brucellosis and Coccidioidomycosis. The common pathogens of testicular inflammation include Escherichia coli, Proteus vulgaris, Staphylococcus, and Streptococcus, among others. If not treated promptly, it can result in azoospermia, infertility, and the transmission of infectious pathogens to close relatives, potentially causing gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is important for men to pay attention and seek timely treatment. It is also recommended to go to a formal hospital for treatment. The condition of testicular inflammation tends to recur, requiring long-term medication.
