Does orchitis cause infertility?

Patient's question:

It's already the fourth year since I got married to my wife this year. Wait for me, our parents really want to hold a grandchild, a grandchild. They urge us especially hard. So my wife and I have been working hard. Then after a thorough check, it was said that I have epididymitis. I'm very scared, will epididymitis cause infertility?

Doctor's answer:

Generally, epididymitis may also lead to the recurrence of infertility. Therefore, once an infectious condition is diagnosed, it is necessary to assess whether there are any pain symptoms. However, avoid spicy foods in the coming days. Follow medical advice and engage in aerobic exercise, avoid stress, and consider intravenous infusion for treatment. Carefully monitor for one week, as the inflammation is usually relieved. However, avoid prolonged sitting. The above information can be used for reference.
