Patient's question:
Hello expert, I would like to ask what are the symptoms of orchitis? Recently, a friend of mine has shown symptoms of orchitis. I would like to ask what is going on? Could you please help me answer this for me? Thank you! Which hospital in Ningbo is good for treating reproductive infections?Doctor's answer:
The symptoms of acute orchitis are primarily high fever, chills, pain in the affected testicle, redness, swelling, and enlargement, along with urgency and frequency of urination, and significant tenderness. The symptoms of chronic orchitis include gradual testicular enlargement and the formation of hard lumps, without systemic symptoms, and it is generally a progression from acute orchitis. If one testicle is swollen, the likelihood of orchitis is higher, but it cannot be ruled out that it may also be epididymitis or varicocele. Regardless of the cause, it is important to seek medical attention promptly for diagnosis and early treatment.
