Patient's question:
Yesterday, I suddenly felt my body temperature was a bit high, feeling hot, and then had a strong pain in the testicles. The pain was so intense that I felt nauseous and almost vomited. When I carefully examined the area between my legs, I noticed some swelling in the testicles, and pressing lightly caused pain. I went to the hospital for a thorough check-up, and the doctor said I had orchitis and that it needed immediate treatment. What causes orchitis?Doctor's answer:
After identifying the cause, targeted treatment should be administered to avoid delaying the condition. If left untreated, the disease may worsen, potentially leading to sexual dysfunction and infertility. It is recommended that you visit a hospital promptly for a thorough examination and treatment. During the treatment period, avoid sexual activity and spicy foods. Also, refrain from increasing smoking and alcohol consumption. Epididymal conditions are prone to recurrence, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is essential to seek diagnosis at a professional and reputable hospital. Treatment should be considered based on examination results, and attention should be paid to quitting smoking and drinking, as well as maintaining personal hygiene.
