Patient's question:
I am 26 years old this year. During my last health check-up, I was carefully diagnosed with orchitis, which made me very upset. I haven't been able to conceive yet. Will orchitis affect the quality of sperm? Will I be unable to have children in the future? I am very worried. Will orchitis affect the quality of sperm?Doctor's answer:
If the disease of orchitis is not treated actively, it will interfere with sperm quality. Severe orchitis generally allows for the administration of procaine penicillin through intramuscular injection as per medical advice. Those allergic to penicillin may use ciprofloxacin lactate for intravenous drip or gentamicin for intramuscular injection. After the inflammation is somewhat suppressed, switch to oral antibiotics such as、 or fluoroquinolone. Pay attention to quitting smoking and drinking alcohol. Pay attention to personal hygiene.
