Patient's question:
Orchitis is being treated in the hospital. After a thorough examination this morning, the doctor told me my white blood cell count is 19, which is twice the normal level. The doctor didn't say much, and I feel uneasy. I'd like to consult further. Is orchitis very serious?Doctor's answer:
Epididymitis is often caused by retrograde transmission from urethral infection, and the inflammatory infection test shows an increase in white blood cells. This disease can be completely cured as long as timely anti-inflammatory and anti-infection treatment is given and personal hygiene is paid attention to in daily life. There is no need to worry too much. The condition of epididymitis is prone to recurrence, requiring long-term oral medication. Moreover, for male patients, it is important to seek medical treatment from professional and regular hospitals in a timely manner, and treatment should be considered based on the examination results. Additionally, it is necessary to control sexual activity and maintain a good mood.
