Patient's question:

Hello, orchitis is usually caused by bacteria and viruses. The general symptoms include testicular pain that radiates to the groin, a noticeable heavy sensation, accompanied by high fever, nausea, vomiting, and elevated white blood cell count. The testicles become significantly swollen and tender, and the scrotal skin becomes red and swollen. It is recommended to undergo a color Doppler ultrasound and CT scan for a definitive diagnosis. Drink plenty of water, avoid getting cold, and eat more vegetables and fruits. Once a clear diagnosis is made, treatment should begin. If the orchitis is severe, intravenous metronidazole can be administered. If it is a tumor, surgery should be performed as soon as possible.
