Patient's question:
Because of the training, I don't spend much time with my child regularly. Yesterday, I took my son to the bathhouse early after school. That's when I noticed that my son's penis had become noticeably larger than before, and it also felt like his Adam's apple was a bit weaker. I started wondering if my child might be experiencing precocious puberty. What are the symptoms of precocious puberty in boys?Doctor's answer:
Orchitis, primarily caused by the mumps virus, can spread through the bloodstream and lead to inflammation of the testicles, causing them to soften and swell, and may even result in male infertility. Therefore, if this condition is detected, it is essential to seek active treatment. For this condition, as it is a viral infection, antibiotic treatment is ineffective. The main approach is symptomatic treatment, which may include the appropriate use of interferon, combined with physical therapy, which can be somewhat effective.
