Doctor's answer:
Hello, testicular swelling, occasional pain, your condition should be considered as orchitis. Orchitis is more common in middle-aged and young patients. The most common type is acute purulent orchitis. Clinical manifestations include high fever, chills, testicular swelling and pain, redness and swelling of the scrotum. It is usually caused by bacteria and viruses and is often combined with epididymitis.For treatment, use anti-infective drugs, such as broad-spectrum antibiotics.
