Patient's question:
Because I couldn't get pregnant for a long time, my husband and I went to the hospital for a thorough examination. My physical condition is quite good, but my husband was found to have orchitis. The doctor said this condition is also a cause of male infertility. I don't know if what the doctor said is correct. What should I do with orchitis?Doctor's answer:
Hypothesis of the problem: Generally, in such cases, diseases such as orchitis, epididymitis, and prostatitis are considered. The testis is the largest reproductive organ in males, responsible for producing sperm, secreting androgens, and functions such as ejaculation. It is recommended to drink more water, maintain a light diet, avoid smoking and alcohol, and prevent prolonged sitting. Timely medical examinations such as semen routine tests, prostatic fluid routine tests, and testicular ultrasound should be conducted to confirm the diagnosis. Based on your detailed examination results, follow medical advice and actively cooperate with treatment. Orchitis tends to recur, requiring long-term medication.
