Patient's question:
Orchitis caused by mumps, during the ten-day hospital stay, I had low-grade fever for five days on and off. I was discharged on New Year's Eve. On the sixth day of the New Year, I took the medicine, but now I feel one testicle is slightly larger with a small lump and some. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
You should not be fully recovered yet. It is recommended that you focus on medication treatment and undergo periodic ultrasound check-ups. After the symptoms are completely eliminated, you can then consider doing a semen test. For patients with orchitis, timely treatment can reduce the incidence of the disease. If left untreated, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should take medication according to their symptoms and avoid overexertion in daily life, while paying attention to personal hygiene.
