Patient's question:
What causes orchitis. Yesterday, I suddenly felt my body temperature was a bit high, feverish, and then there was intense pain in the testicles. The pain was so severe that I felt nauseous and wanted to vomit. When I carefully examined the area between my legs, I noticed some swelling in the testicles, and pressing lightly caused pain. I went to the hospital for a check-up, and the doctor said I had orchitis and that it needed to be treated immediately. What causes orchitis?Doctor's answer:
What causes epididymitis. Epididymitis is an inflammatory condition of the testicles caused by various blood-borne factors. It can be classified into non-specific, viral, fungal, spirochetal, parasitic, traumatic, chemical, and other types. Specific epididymitis is usually caused by tuberculosis of the epididymis affecting the testicles and is very rare. In clinical diagnosis, non-specific epididymitis and mumps orchitis are commonly encountered, and they are one of the common causes of male infertility. The condition of the epididymis tends to recur, requiring long-term medication.
