What are the causes of orchitis?

Patient's question:

I recently felt that there were abnormal symptoms in my lower body again. I have developed some small red pimples in my lower body, and they are a bit itchy. So, I went to the hospital for a thorough examination of my body. The result was that I was diagnosed with orchitis. What are the causes of orchitis?

Doctor's answer:

Acute orchitis, if not treated thoroughly or improperly, can lead to chronic orchitis over time. It can also be triggered by fungal or parasitic infections, such as syphilis of the testicles. This may result in recurrent granulomatous orchitis. Local or systemic radioactive phosphorus irradiation of the testicles can also cause recurrent orchitis, destroying testicular tissue. Orchitis tends to recur easily, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is essential to seek treatment at a professional and reputable hospital immediately. Treatment should be considered based on examination results. Additionally, proper diet and abstinence from sexual activity should be maintained.
