Patient's question:
Last month, I noticed that my husband's testicular area had started to swell again. At the time, I didn't pay much attention, just asked him how much it hurt. He said he didn't feel anything abnormal. But after two days, before going to bed, he said he felt pain. The hospital examination confirmed it was testicular inflammation, and he is very worried. What are the nursing measures for testicular inflammation?Doctor's answer:
The causes of orchitis include:1. Secondary to prostatitis or urinary tract pyometra.
2. Prostatectomy is performed via the urethra, and after surgery, urine may contain bacteria for about 8 to 12 weeks. During urination, urine may reflux into the vas deferens, leading to retrograde pyometra and subsequently orchitis. Pyometra can also spread to the epididymis through peripheral lymphatic vessels. Your symptoms may indicate orchitis. It is recommended that you seek professional medical attention for a thorough examination and timely treatment.
3. Chemical orchitis caused by sterile urine refluxing into the vas deferens. Recent studies have found that urine can reflux into the seminal vesicles.
