Patient's question:
Does acute orchitis caused by mumps lead to infertility? Why? Is there a way to cure it?Doctor's answer:
During orchitis scarring, the testes become smaller and softer. The seminiferous tubules are severely dilated, but the Leydig cells are retained, so testosterone secretion is not affected. Orchitis can be stabilized, but the treatment period is usually long, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment, use medication appropriately, and maintain a light diet, avoiding foods, smoking, and drinking beer. We hope male patients can recover as soon as possible!
