Patient's question:
Got mumps a week ago. After about three or four days, I noticed testicular pain and went to the clinic. They found it was orchitis, and I got an IV there. It's already the third day today.Doctor's answer:
Most mumps only affect the parotid glands without complications, but a small number of children may develop complications such as pancreatitis or orchitis. Mumps with complications must be treated actively; otherwise, it may lead to infertility. Nowadays, children can receive intravenous fluids and actively cooperate with treatment for the full course. Standardized treatment will not leave any aftereffects. Swollen testicles often fluctuate in condition, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is crucial to seek treatment at a professional and reputable hospital immediately and consider treatment based on examination results. Additionally, it is important to quit smoking and drinking and maintain good personal hygiene.
