What causes orchitis?

Nowadays, the pace of life is very fast, and the pressure on men in society is getting greater and greater. The tight living habits and huge life pressure make men very hard. Therefore, some men suffer from a disease called orchitis in their lives. Because it is their private parts, it is usually embarrassing. Therefore, they often delay it for a long time, and only remember to go to the hospital when it is very serious, which is often unbearable.

If there is a cause, there will be an effect. So if you want to treat orchitis, you must understand the cause of your orchitis and treat it accordingly. So, what are the causes of orchitis? How should we deal with it? Let me tell you about it.

1. Acute inflammation or infection

Acute orchitis may occur in patients with urethritis, cystitis, prostatitis or prostatectomy and long-term indwelling catheters due to inflammation. Pathologically, macroscopic observation mainly shows testicular enlargement, congestion and tension. Histology shows focal necrosis, connective tissue edema and lobed granulocyte infiltration. In severe cases, testicular abscess and testicular infarction may occur.

2. Incomplete treatment

If acute orchitis is not treated thoroughly or improperly, the disease may turn into chronic orchitis in the long run. It may also be caused by fungal, spirochete, or parasitic infection, such as testicular syphilis, which may cause granulomatous orchitis. Local or whole-body radioactive isotope phosphorus irradiation of the testicles may also cause orchitis and destroy the testicular tissue.

3. Mumps

It is the most common cause of orchitis. About 20% of adult men suffer from orchitis due to mumps. Orchitis usually occurs 3 to 4 days after the onset of mumps. The scrotum is erythematous and edematous. One or both testicles are enlarged and highly tender. Occasionally, hydrocele can be seen. The testicles are highly enlarged and purple-blue in color. Histological observation shows edema and vascular dilation, a large number of inflammatory cells infiltrate, and varying degrees of degeneration of the seminiferous tubules.

So, how should we carry out auxiliary treatment for orchitis?

One of the dietary taboos for patients with orchitis: Eat less so-called "irritating foods" such as pig's trotters, fish soup, and mutton, so as to avoid increased secretions from the inflamed area, further infiltrating and spreading the orchitis and aggravating the symptoms;

The second dietary taboo for patients with orchitis: Do not smoke or drink;

The third dietary taboo for patients with orchitis: Do not eat spicy food;

The fourth dietary taboo for patients with orchitis: Eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, and increase the intake of vitamin C and other ingredients to enhance the body's anti-inflammatory ability.

There are many causes of orchitis. Therefore, a doctor must have rich experience to diagnose orchitis and must not make random guesses. After confirming that it is orchitis, you must take the right medicine in time, control your eating habits, and recover as soon as possible to live a happy and fulfilling life.
