What to do if you have orchitis again after your sliding testicle is cured?

Patients with slippery testicles are likely to be infertile or have poor sperm quality, because the temperature inside the testicles is relatively high, which can damage sperm. The situation will improve after a period of time after the cure, but it still depends on the individual's recovery, which is not necessarily the same. If you have orchitis again, you must seek medical treatment immediately. It is likely that it was not completely cured before. Next, let's take a look at the situation of orchitis!

1. Chronic nonspecific orchitis

Chronic orchitis is mostly caused by incomplete treatment of non-specific acute orchitis. It can also be caused by fungal, spirochetal, or parasitic infections, such as testicular syphilis. Patients with previous testicular trauma may develop granulomatous orchitis. Local or whole-body radioactive isotope phosphorus irradiation of the testicles can also cause orchitis and damage the testicular tissue.

2. Acute nonspecific orchitis

Acute non-specific orchitis often occurs in patients with urethritis, cystitis, prostatitis, after prostatectomy and with long-term indwelling catheters. The infection spreads to the epididymis through the lymph or vas deferens, causing epididymal orchitis. Common pathogens are E. coli, Proteus, Staphylococcus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Bacteria can spread to the testicles through the bloodstream, causing simple orchitis. However, the testicles have rich blood supply and strong resistance to infection, so this situation is relatively rare.

3. Acute mumps orchitis

Mumps is the most common cause of orchitis. About 20% of mumps patients have orchitis, which is more common in late adolescence. The testicles are highly enlarged and purple-blue in color.

Clinical manifestations of orchitis:

1. High fever and chills.

2. Testicular pain, with radiating pain in the scrotum, thigh and groin areas.

3. The diseased testicles are swollen and tender. If purulent, they feel like purulent effusion when touched.

4. Often accompanied by scrotal skin redness and swelling and intrascrotal hydrocele.

5. Children with viral orchitis may sometimes experience parotid gland enlargement and pain.

If orchitis is not cured for a long time, it will cause some complications. Any disease that causes complications is more troublesome. The complications that are easily caused by orchitis are mainly prostatitis, varicocele, urinary system problems, etc. The most worrying thing is that it will cause male infertility and sperm necrosis.
