Patient's question:
Hello expert, I am an editor and often sit at the office. I would like to ask why I have been experiencing pain in my testicles recently after sitting for a long time? What is going on? I look forward to your reply!Doctor's answer:
Hello, based on your description, the possibility of orchitis should be considered. The common pathogens causing urethritis and cystitis include Escherichia coli, Proteus, Staphylococcus, Streptococcus faecalis, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The main routes of infection are hematogenous infection, direct infection, and lymphatic infection. The clinical manifestations mainly include pain radiating to the inguinal region and lower abdomen, accompanied by chills, high fever, and gastrointestinal symptoms. It is often complicated with epididymitis, where the boundaries between the epididymis and testis become unclear, the epididymis becomes hard, and the vas deferens becomes thickened. If any problems are detected, please seek medical attention promptly. After the cause is identified, targeted treatment should be administered to avoid delaying the condition. If left untreated, it may recur, and in severe cases, it can lead to sexual dysfunction and infertility. We recommend that you visit a hospital for examination and treatment. During the treatment period, avoid sexual activity, spicy foods, and reduce smoking and alcohol consumption. Finally, we wish you good health.
