Patient's question:
What causes orchitis. Yesterday, I suddenly felt my body temperature was a bit high, feverish, and then had severe pain in the testicles. The pain was so intense 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. How is orchitis treated?Doctor's answer:
In clinical diagnosis, it is divided into two major categories: acute orchitis and chronic orchitis. Acute orchitis occurs more rapidly, presenting as a heavy and distended discomfort in the affected scrotum, severe local pain, and even affecting urination. The pain can radiate to the ipsilateral groin area and lower abdomen, accompanied by general malaise and high fever. Physical examination: the affected epididymis is swollen and tender. In more severe inflammation, it may involve the testis, and the scrotal skin may become red and swollen again. Chronic orchitis is more common than acute orchitis, and some patients develop it from acute phase that was not fully cured.
