Patient's question:
Recently, every time I urinate, I feel a swollen sensation in my testicles. The testicular pain has been so severe that I can't even sit comfortably. I've had a low-grade fever for a week without any relief, and I feel extremely weak. I also have symptoms of frequent urination. After a thorough examination at the hospital, it was diagnosed as orchitis. How is orchitis caused?Doctor's answer:
There are many causes of orchitis, such as infection, trauma, and tumors. It is also one of the common conditions seen in urology clinics. When patients describe their symptoms, due to the varying types of conditions, the nature of the pain can differ, including aching pain, heavy pain, and knife-like pain, among others. The intensity of the pain can also vary, ranging from dull pain to severe pain. In addition to the pain caused by inflammation of the testicles themselves, inflammation of the epididymis and spermatic cord within the scrotum can also lead to testicular pain.
