Patient's question:
Recently, my testicles have been hanging down, and the left one is swollen, painful, and feels hot. How long will it take to get orchitis?Doctor's answer:
The current symptoms suggest it is likely orchitis, a condition that affects all ages. It is best to undergo a thorough ultrasound examination for diagnosis. Orchitis should be treated as early as possible to avoid interfering with future sexual life and fertility. Orchitis is curable, but the treatment process is generally slow, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, medication should be used according to symptoms, and patients should also maintain a light diet. Avoid spicy foods, smoking, and drinking beer.
