Why does the testicle itch get worse the more you scratch it?

If your testicles often feel itchy, and the more you scratch them, the more itchy they become, then it is likely caused by orchitis. However, orchitis is divided into acute orchitis and chronic orchitis. If you often feel itchy, it may be caused by chronic orchitis. If you already feel pain and the discomfort is very strong, then it is likely caused by acute orchitis. Next, let's take a look at the main conditions of orchitis!

1. Acute epididymitis usually develops rapidly, with symptoms such as general discomfort, high fever and increased white blood cell count. It often occurs on one side, rarely on both sides. The scrotum is swollen and the pain is severe, which can radiate to the ipsilateral ventral groove area and lower abdomen. The scrotum is enlarged and the skin is red. Examination shows that the epididymis is enlarged and obviously tender. In the early stage, it has a clear boundary with the testicle, and the seminal vesicle is edematous and thickened.

Acute epididymitis treatment:

1. For patients with abscess, incision and drainage are required. A small number of patients who develop testicular infarction should undergo orchiectomy.

2. Lift the scrotum to relieve pain, apply local hot compress, and seal the spermatic cord.

3. Use antibiotics and analgesics

1. Induce other diseases: Orchitis can easily induce various serious diseases, such as varicocele, synovitis, prostatitis, endocrine diseases, nephritis and other kidney diseases, urinary tract infections, malignant tumors, etc., which seriously threaten men's lives.

2. Sexual dysfunction: Orchitis can lead to a decline in male sexual function or even complete loss of sexual function, bringing difficulties to the couple's life.

3. Male infertility: Orchitis can also lead to dead sperm, azoospermia, loss of fertility, and transmit inflammatory bacteria to the spouse, causing gynecological diseases and causing great harm to the wife's health.

Men with orchitis should seek timely treatment. Only after the treatment can they have sex. Otherwise, the orchitis will worsen and the sexual partner will also develop gynecological diseases. Orchitis patients should not cross their legs. Crossing legs can easily cause the temperature of one testicle to rise, resulting in sperm damage. The correct sitting posture should be with both legs straight or hanging down.
