Patient's question:
How much does surgical treatment for orchitis cost? It seems that the treatment for orchitis has started about last month. An experienced person felt testicular swelling and pain and couldn't bear it anymore, so they went to the hospital for a thorough examination. The examination revealed orchitis. Can orchitis be cured? How much does the treatment for orchitis cost approximately? Is the recurrence of orchitis serious for men? Is it very harmful?Doctor's answer:
Testicular can recur after urethritis and cystitis. The common pathogens include Escherichia coli, Proteus, Staphylococcus, Streptococcus faecalis, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The infection pathways are mainly divided into hematogenous infection, direct infection, and lymphatic infection. Clinical diagnosis primarily manifests as pain radiating to the ipsilateral inguinal region and lower abdomen, accompanied by chills, high fever, and gastrointestinal symptoms. It is also necessary to rule out epididymitis, where the boundaries between the epididymis, testis, and epididymis become unclear, the epididymis becomes hardened, and the vas deferens becomes thickened. If any issues are detected, it is important to seek medical attention promptly for a follow-up examination. After identifying the cause, targeted treatment should be administered to avoid delaying the condition. If left untreated, it can recur, and in severe cases, it may lead to sexual dysfunction and infertility.
