Patient's question:
I am 23 years old this year, and my health has been quite good before. Recently, I have been experiencing testicular pain, and I even had a fever for the past two days. The hospital said it was orchitis. I would like to consult about what might have caused it. What causes orchitis?Doctor's answer:
Clinical manifestations:1. High fever, chills.
2. Testicular pain, accompanied by referred pain in the scrotum, groin, and inner thigh area.
3. The affected testicle is swollen and tender. If inflamed, it may feel like a fluctuating sensation of pus accumulation upon palpation.
4. Often accompanied by scrotal skin redness and swelling, as well as hydrocele.
5. In children, recurrent viral orchitis may sometimes be accompanied by swollen and painful parotid glands. For orchitis patients, timely treatment can reduce the severity of the condition. If left untreated, it may affect overall health.
