Patient's question:
It should have started two days ago. There's some pain in the testicles, and they look fine. Today I noticed that the testicles are swollen, and when touched, it's extremely painful. The inside and outside are connected very tightly. What should I do if I suddenly get testicular inflammation?Doctor's answer:
Orchitis is an inflammation of the testicles caused by bacteria entering through the bloodstream, lymphatic system, or direct spread. The main symptoms include redness and swelling of the scrotal skin, swelling of the testicles, significant tenderness, pain radiating to the groin and perineum, a sensation of heaviness, and systemic symptoms such as high fever, chills, nausea, and vomiting during acute recurrence. If orchitis is not treated promptly, it can lead to impaired sperm production. Downward transmission can also cause inflammation of other reproductive organs. It is recommended that you visit a hospital for follow-up treatment and take medication under the guidance of a doctor. For orchitis patients, timely treatment can help reduce the risk of recurrence.
