Patient's question:

Experts from Shanghai Changjiang Hospital of Infertility and Sterility said: Orchitis is a common inflammation of the male reproductive system, which can be caused by various pathogenic factors leading to inflammatory lesions of the testicles. It can be classified into types such as non-specific, viral, fungal, spirochetal, parasitic, traumatic, and chemical. The infection pathways are most commonly hematogenous and lymphatic, but it can also be retrogradely invaded into the testicles through the urethra, seminal vesicle, vas deferens, or epididymis. Clinically, non-specific orchitis and mumps orchitis are most common, and they are one of the common causes of male infertility. Mumps orchitis is caused by a virus. Orchitis complicated by sexually transmitted diseases such as gonorrhea, non-gonococcal urethritis, and syphilis accounts for approximately 40-60% of total cases and is one of the common complications of male sexually transmitted diseases. It is recommended that you go to a professional hospital for examination and treatment.
