Mumps orchitis is mainly manifested by testicular swelling, pain, redness, and fever, which occurs after mumps. According to statistics, about 30% of patients with orchitis caused by mumps have irreversible damage to their sperm, and the affected testicles are highly atrophied. If bilateral infection occurs, the testicles may atrophy, causing sperm production disorders and infertility, but androgen function is generally normal. If the orchitis is caused by mumps before puberty, there is no need to worry about it, because the testicles are not fully developed and mature in early childhood, so it will not have a certain impact on future fertility.
