Patient's question:
What are the causes of orchitis?Doctor's answer:
There are several causes of orchitis, such as infection, trauma, and tumors. It is also one of the common conditions seen in urology clinics. When patients describe their symptoms, due to the varying types of conditions, the nature of pain can differ, including aching pain, heavy pain, and knife-like pain, among others. The intensity of pain can also vary, ranging from dull pain to severe pain. In addition to the pain caused by inflammation of the testicles themselves, inflammation of the epididymis and spermatic cord within the scrotum can also lead to testicular pain. As mentioned earlier, if a football hits a male's sensitive area—the testicles—intense and heavy stimulation can cause severe testicular pain, which in serious cases may even lead to shock.
