Patient's question:
In the past two weeks, I noticed some pain in my testicles, which has worsened this week. I went to the clinic and received three days of intravenous drips. The doctor recommended that I come to a major hospital for a check-up. Besides the testicular pain and impotence, there are no other obvious symptoms of illness.Doctor's answer:
Hello, if you have orchitis and actively treat it, you can completely recover. In this case, it has almost no impact on fertility. However, if you do not actively treat it, it may cause significant harm to male fertility, and it may even lead to male infertility. Orchitis often triggers more severe conditions, such as varicocele, orchiitis, and sometimes prostatitis. These conditions induced by orchitis can reduce male fertility. Since orchitis is caused by bacterial and viral infections, it can severely affect the quality of some male sperm, so in many cases, orchitis can impact fertility.
