Patient's question:
Recently, every time I had sex with my wife, my lower abdomen has been feeling bloated, and my testicles have also been a bit sore, as if they might fall off. It has lasted for about a month, and I really can't take it anymore. I went to the hospital for a thorough check-up, and the doctor said it was epididymitis. Can it be cured?Doctor's answer:
Acute orchitis occurs suddenly. High fever, leukopenia. Swelling and pain in the affected scrotum. A heavy sensation. Referred pain in the lower abdomen and inguinal region. It intensifies when standing or walking. The affected epididymis is swollen. There is significant tenderness. This leads to the symptoms of acute orchitis. It is essential to seek timely treatment to prevent it from progressing to chronic orchitis. For orchitis patients, timely treatment can reduce the incidence. If left untreated, it can affect fertility. Therefore, patients should take oral medication promptly and pay attention to self-care in daily life. Avoid spicy foods.
