Patient's question:
I have been experiencing pain in my testicles during sexual intercourse recently, and sometimes I have blood in my semen. When I touch my scrotum, it hurts, and I also feel like something is pulling it down. At the hospital, after a thorough examination, the doctor diagnosed me with orchitis.What kind of help do you need: Is orchitis contagious?
Doctor's answer:
Hello, according to the description, it will be infected, and it should be checked and treated early in a regular hospital. Orchitis is caused by inflammation, which, in addition to inflammatory exudation, leads to testicular enlargement. When the testicular capsule is stretched, it causes swelling and pain. If it is not treated, the inflammation is generally difficult to heal on its own. You need to go to the hospital for a color Doppler ultrasound examination and take medication as soon as possible. This can prevent testicular atrophy and affect fertility.
