Patient's question:
After doing it for a long time, there is swelling and pain in the testicles and scrotum. I wonder if it will affect fertility, is it testicular inflammation?Doctor's answer:
Hello:The clinical manifestations of orchitis include sudden onset, chills, fever, general malaise, nausea, and vomiting. Subsequently, the patient may experience testicular swelling and pain (usually unilateral), which radiates to the groin. Examination reveals redness and swelling of the scrotal skin on the affected side, with enlarged and tender testicles, sometimes even painful to touch. If an abscess forms, a fluctuating sensation can be palpated. If accompanied by epididymitis, the boundaries between the two become unclear, the epididymis becomes hardened, and the vas deferens may become thickened. If both testicles are affected, testicular tissue may be damaged, potentially leading to infertility in some patients.
Other factors causing testicular pain cannot be completely ruled out. It is recommended that the hospital conduct active investigations to confirm the diagnosis and provide treatment.
