Patient's question:
My dear, I used to be in good health, but in the past two years, I've been experiencing some minor health issues. Recently, I felt unwell again and went to the hospital for a thorough check-up. They said it was testicular torsion. Could you please tell me how testicular torsion is caused?Doctor's answer:
Orchitis is usually caused by orchitis, epididymitis, hydrocele, prostatitis, varicocele, testicular cysts, and trauma. Orchitis and seminal vesiculitis are primarily caused by bacterial or viral infections. Common pathogens include Staphylococcus, Streptococcus, E. coli, etc. The most common virus is mumps virus, mainly caused by mumps. Bacteria are very common in adults. The testes are important reproductive organs in males. Testicular problems will directly interfere with future fertility and sexual function.
