Is orchitis, epididymitis, and balanitis a sexually transmitted disease?

Patient's question:

How is orchitis and epididymitis treated, and can it be cured completely? Except for a little bit, right. Is it easy to relapse?

Doctor's answer:

This itself is not a sexually transmitted disease; it is generally a disease that reappears due to a virus or its own causes in the genital area. However, sexually transmitted diseases can lead to epididymitis. Treating epididymitis is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and it is prone to recurrence. Some patients may develop epididymal cysts after treatment, so it is best to have a thorough treatment to prevent recurrence. Testicular conditions are prone to recurring, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is important to actively seek diagnosis at professional and reputable hospitals and consider treatment based on examination results. Additionally, it is necessary to control sexual activity and maintain a good mood.
