Patient's question:
I am a junior high school teacher, 28 years old, married, and got mumps in August last year. The doctor said it might cause orchitis, but I didn't pay much attention. Recently, while taking a shower, I suddenly noticed that my left testicle had shrunk. What kind of help do I need: What are the causes of orchitis?Doctor's answer:
In this case, it could be orchitis caused by a viral infection, often resulting from mumps. Therefore, it is necessary to boost the immune system. On the other hand, it may be caused by transmission, inflammation, or tumors. Further detailed medical examination is required, and it is advisable to avoid fried and greasy foods while increasing the intake of fresh vegetables and fruits. Quitting smoking and limiting alcohol consumption, as well as wearing loose pants, are also recommended. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery!
