Patient's question:
What is orchitis? Can this heal on its own?Doctor's answer:
Orchitis does not heal on its own. The clinical manifestations of orchitis include pain in the affected testicle with radiating pain in the scrotum, groin, and inguinal region. The testicle swells and becomes tender. If it becomes purulent, there is a fluctuating sensation of pus upon palpation. It is often accompanied by redness and swelling of the scrotal skin and hydrocele in the scrotum. It is recommended to seek timely treatment, otherwise it may lead to a decline in male sexual function, even complete loss of sexual function, dead sperm, absence of sperm, loss of fertility, and transmission of inflammatory products to a partner, causing gynecological diseases. Avoid spicy and irritating foods, smoking, and alcohol consumption. Avoid prolonged standing or sitting, excessive sexual activity, and frequent masturbation.
