Patient's question:
Orchitis causes low sperm viability. Can it be cured?Doctor's answer:
Hello, your condition may be caused by inflammation of the testicles or epididymis, so the focus should be on treating this. Testicular inflammation is usually caused by bacteria and viruses. Common symptoms include testicular pain that radiates to the groin, a noticeable sense of heaviness, high fever, nausea, vomiting, elevated white blood cell count, and significant testicular swelling and tenderness. The scrotal skin may also become red and swollen. Treatment generally involves broad-spectrum antibiotics like azithromycin, bed rest, elevating the scrotum, local heat application, physical therapy, and 1% lidocaine injection to relieve pain. If an abscess forms, it should be drained through incision. It is important to pay attention to personal hygiene.
