Patient's question:
A while ago, I always felt pain in my testicles, and they became swollen and red. In the past two days, I also experienced symptoms of urinary urgency and dysuria, always feeling like I couldn't empty my bladder completely. Later, the hospital diagnosed it as orchitis. How is orchitis caused?Doctor's answer:
Had urethritis, prostatitis or benign prostatic hyperplasia surgery, or patients with long-term indwelling catheters. Due to the influence of inflammation, it may lead to acute orchitis. Pathologically, careful macroscopic observation will reveal significant testicular atrophy, congestion, edema of connective tissue, and infiltration of segmented neutrophils. In severe cases, it may form testicular abscesses or even testicular necrosis. It is necessary to go to a professional and regular hospital for diagnosis. Treatment should be considered based on the examination results. Also, pay attention to restricting sexual activity and maintaining a good mood.
