Patient's question:
How to prevent orchitis recently, I've been feeling pain in my testicles, and after a thorough examination at the hospital, they said I have orchitis. How can orchitis be prevented?Doctor's answer:
Orchitis is an inflammatory condition of the testicles caused by various septic factors, which can be classified into non-specific, viral, fungal, spirochetal, parasitic, and traumatic types. The testicles themselves rarely experience recurrent bacterial infections due to their rich blood and lymphatic supply, which provides strong resistance to bacterial infections. Most bacterial orchitis is caused by inflammation of the adjacent epididymis, hence it is also referred to as epididymo-orchitis. Common pathogens include Staphylococcus, Streptococcus, Escherichia coli, and others.
