Does a child with orchitis need to see a doctor when he grows up?

Patient's question:

Males who had orchitis during early childhood and recovered on their own need to undergo a genital health check-up at the hospital when they become adults?

Doctor's answer:

Based on your current situation description, as long as the orchitis heals on its own, it should be fine. Currently, the main thing to look at is whether you have any discomfort symptoms. If you don't have any discomfort symptoms, there's no need for a thorough examination. If you do have uncomfortable symptoms, then consider getting checked. Orchitis can be relieved, but the treatment process is generally slow, and it's prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, it's crucial to actively cooperate with your doctor's medication plan. Additionally, patients should avoid sitting or riding for long periods and pay close attention to personal hygiene.
