Patient's question:
Doctor, my friend is 34 years old this year. He has been experiencing testicular pain recently and went to the hospital for a thorough examination. The result showed testicular inflammation, which I don't quite understand. We are very close friends, and I am very concerned. The kind of help I need: What causes testicular inflammation?Doctor's answer:
Orchitis is an inflammatory condition of the testicles caused by various septic factors and can be classified into non-specific, viral, fungal, spirochetal, parasitic, traumatic, chemical, and other types. Specific orchitis is often caused by epididymal tuberculosis affecting the testicles and is very rare. In clinical diagnosis, non-specific orchitis and mumps orchitis are commonly encountered, and they are among the common causes of male infertility.
