Patient's question:
I recently don't know what's wrong with my lower abdomen and it's very uncomfortable, and I'm not getting morning erections anymore. Could you please tell me the difference between orchitis and epididymitis?Doctor's answer:
Hello, the transmission routes of epididymitis are mostly urinary tract infections, and it may also have lymphatic system transmission. The most common pathogen is Escherichia coli. Treatment generally involves administering a moderate amount of antibiotics through intravenous infusion to strive for a single cure and prevent it from becoming a chronic infection. Orchitis is mostly caused by viral infections, with the most common being the mumps virus. Its treatment involves using antiviral drugs.
