Patient's question:
I have been having frequent fever recently. This morning, I noticed some pain in my testicles, pain during urination, sometimes feeling a strong urge to urinate, always having the sensation of not fully emptying the bladder, and a feeling as if something is pulling downward. The hospital conducted a thorough examination and said I have orchitis. What are the causes of orchitis?Doctor's answer:
The main causes of orchitis are primarily as follows: E. coli, Proteus, Staphylococcus, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, among other bacteria, rampant. If men do not pay attention to hygiene of the external genitalia, it is easy for these bacteria to enter the urinary tract from the urethra, and then infiltrate the testicles through the lymphatic system or the vas deferens, leading to orchitis. Tonsillitis and mumps can also cause orchitis. Men who suffer from tonsillitis or mumps are prone to developing orchitis, especially mumps, which is particularly likely to cause testicular infection.
