What are the hazards of orchitis?

Patient's question:

Recently, I've been experiencing testicular swelling and tenderness, with some redness and swelling in the scrotal skin. After examination, it was diagnosed as orchitis. I was wondering which hospital is the best for treating orchitis without surgical intervention, as I have previously been treated but did not undergo surgery. What are the dangers of orchitis?

Doctor's answer:

Causing serious diseases, such as varicocele, orchitis, prostatitis, endocrine disorders, kidney diseases like nephritis, urinary tract infections, and malignant tumors. It can even lead to an increase in male sexual function, or even complete loss of sexual function. Men should wear loose and breathable clothing to prevent tight pants and non-breathable synthetic underwear. This helps maintain cleanliness and dryness in the groin area, preventing bacterial growth and transmission. For patients with orchitis, timely treatment can reduce the risk of recurrence. If left untreated, it can affect overall health. Therefore, patients should take medication according to their symptoms and avoid overexertion in daily life while paying attention to personal hygiene. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
