Patient's question:
I have pain in my right testicle. I went to the hospital for a thorough examination, and the doctor said it was orchitis. I am currently taking Levofloxacin Hydrochloride Tablets, but my condition has not improved. I was also told that I cannot have sex, and sometimes it really hurts. Can I have sex with orchitis?Doctor's answer:
Orchitis is an inflammation of the testicles caused by bacteria entering through the bloodstream, lymphatic system, or direct spread. The main symptoms include redness and swelling of the scrotal skin, swelling of the testicles, significant tenderness, pain radiating to the groin and perineum, a sense of heaviness, and systemic symptoms such as high fever, chills, nausea, and vomiting during acute recurrence. If orchitis is not treated properly, it can lead to impaired sperm production. Downward transmission can also cause inflammation of other reproductive organs. It is recommended that you visit a hospital for follow-up treatment and take medication under the guidance of a doctor. The condition of orchitis is prone to recurrence, requiring long-term medication.
